How do I check my website for broken links and 404 errors?▼

How does a broken link checker handle robots.txt and crawling limits?▼

What is included in a broken link audit JSON report?▼

A broken link audit JSON report includes the start_url, max_pages examined, and a detailed list of broken_links. This structured output documents the scanned pages and errors for immediate site health remediation.

Do I need Python to run a concurrent website health check for 404s?▼
