Limits worth knowing in Dead Link Checker
- Free scans stop at 2,000 links; larger scans need an Auto Checker subscription.
- The crawler does not run JavaScript and follows links at most 10 steps deep, so pages with no incoming links are missed.
- Subdomains count as separate websites, so their pages are not crawled as part of the main site.
- Paid plans bill through PayPal; a card can be used without a PayPal account.
