Need to find a “smart” broken/404 link checker

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/04/15

Most of the links from my blog get accompanied with Wayback or Archive.today links, but some don’t.

For those, I need to find a broken/404 link checker which I already hinted at in scr.im « Share your email in a safe way. Get less spam.

Some links that hopefully help me:

Of the on-line tools, [Wayback/Archive] Broken Link Checker Tool – Dead Link Checker is already sort of OK as it at least showed broken links when checking in spring 2023:

[Wayback/Archive] Free Broken Link Checker – Check your website for dead links online is (was?) useless as it reported ~3k links to the Windows 11 ISO but there are just 4 links to it (as per [Wayback/Archive] “windows11ISO” site:Wiert.me – Google Search):

[Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers @wiert@mastodon.social on Twitter: “Not a useful @brokenlinkcheck result when the link is reported 3k times but only referenced 4 times according to Google Search But? Feature?”

Useless brokenlinkcheck results.

4 results according to Google Search
