What is a link checker?

A link checker is a tool that verifies whether a URL is working correctly, reachable on the internet, and returning a valid HTTP response. It helps detect broken links, redirects, and server errors before sharing or shortening URLs.

How this tool works

Our free link checker sends a request to the provided URL and analyzes the response. It detects HTTP status codes (like 200, 404, or 500), measures response time, and identifies whether the link is reachable or blocked.

  • Enter any URL you want to test
  • Click "Check" to analyze the link
  • View status, response time, and errors instantly

Why checking links is important

Broken or unsafe links harm user experience, SEO rankings, and trust. Before sharing links in emails, ads, or social media, verify they work properly and do not lead to errors.

Common HTTP status codes explained

  • 200 OK — The page is working correctly
  • 301 / 302 — Redirect to another URL
  • 404 Not Found — The page does not exist
  • 500 Server Error — Issue on the server side

When should you use a link checker?

Use a link checker before shortening URLs, running ad campaigns, sharing links publicly, or debugging redirect issues. It ensures your audience always lands on the correct destination.
