How to check a page for broken links

Six steps from the Chrome Web Store to a CSV your developer will actually open.

Pin Advanced Broken Links Search in Chrome

Pin it

After install, pin the icon so you are not digging through the puzzle menu every time.

Side panel

Open the extension on any http(s) page. chrome:// and the Web Store cannot be scanned — that is Chrome, not us.

Pause is allowed

Huge pages do not require a heroic sit-and-watch. Pause and resume.

Export

CSV columns: URL, type, HTTP status, final address after redirects.

Settings worth knowing

GET vs HEAD, nofollow, ignore CSS selectors, per-site overrides. Keep defaults if you just want a first pass.
