Site Link Checker can be used to check status of website links, to make sure that they are active and not dead. This is useful for website owners who have a lot of links to other websites, downloads and images for example. In just one click all the links that are on a web address that you’ve entered into Site Link Checker will be tested, and you’ll end up with a list of links grouped according to types and of course status, dead or alive.
This is a very simple website link status checker, with just the address field and the Check Site Links button which can be seen on the image above. The only other thing that you’re gonna see, apart from the commercial all the way at the top, is the website link list down below. Each one of the links from the website address that you’ve added will be placed in this list, after their status has been checked of course. Active links will have a green arrow next to them, while the inactive ones are red.
