What does a blog proofreading check cover?

Blog proofreading evaluates reading flow between sections, paragraph clarity, external URL resolution, internal link correctness, code block tags, list consistency, header hierarchy, and basic grammar and spelling to identify issues before publication.

How do I test if my blog's external links are working?

Blog proofreading uses web fetching or curl to test external URLs for resolution and identifies broken links in your content. It verifies that all referenced URLs respond correctly so readers encounter no dead links.
