A Chrome alternative for checking broken links
Screaming Frog is a crawler. This is a browser extension. Use Frog for huge technical audits. Use this when you are already in Chrome and need dead links and images now.
What Frog is for
Site-wide crawl at agency scale, JavaScript rendering modes, bulk exports, scheduled machines. If that is your week, keep Frog.
What this extension is for
The page on screen. The staging URL the client just pinged. A whole-site pass without installing Java or buying a license for a one-off job.
You also get visual highlighting and image checks — things a CSV dump from a crawler will not show you on the layout.
