See the broken link on the page, not only in a spreadsheet

A CSV is useful for tickets. Highlighting is how you actually find the button in a messy layout.

Highlighted links on a web page

Color by status

Working, broken, redirected, insecure HTTP — different marks, same page.

Jump from the list

The magnifier scrolls to the element and highlights it. No more view-source archaeology.

Side panel

The report stays open beside the page instead of vanishing when you click away from a tiny popup.

Clear when you are done

Closing the UI clears highlights so you are not stuck with a painted page.

Why a list is not enough

The same URL can sit in a mega-menu, a card, and a footer. Status 404 does not tell you which instance the designer meant. Highlighting does.

Insecure HTTP on an otherwise HTTPS page is easy to miss in a wall of rows. On the page it is obvious.

How highlighting works

  1. 1

    Scan the page

    Start a check from the side panel.

  2. 2

    Watch the colors

    Elements pick up status colors as results come in.

  3. 3

    Jump to one URL

    Use the locator in the report to scroll to that element.

  4. 4

    Fix it

    Edit the href or src, rescan that row.
