Broken Link Checker — Honest Link Health
Crawl your pages and check every link's HTTP status. Reports broken links (404/410/5xx/DNS) separately from blocked (403/429) and redirects, with the source page — so a login-walled link is never falsely flagged as broken.
Broken Link Checker — Honest Link Health returns 8 documented output fields, including sourcePage, url, anchorText, internal and state. Every field carries a declared type, a written description and an example value. 49 runs are recorded on Apify.
