Check My Links vs Redirect Path (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Check My Links if

• Fits if you check a page for broken links before you publish it
• Works for finding dead links inside Google Docs and Sheets

Look elsewhere if

• Too light for a whole site, since it checks the page in front of you and doesn't crawl
• Watch out: the free version may show product tips after a few days, and only the paid key hides them
• Tight if you want headers and footers left out or broken links rechecked in bulk, which need the $29 key
• Skip it if you're on Safari, as SelectorsHub says there's no Safari version

Pick Redirect Path if

• Fits if you're checking redirects during or after a site migration
• Works for reading a page's HTTP headers without opening developer tools

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you're not on Chrome, as Ayima names no other browser
• Too light for checking a list of URLs, since it reports on pages you visit one at a time
• Watch out: Ask Ayima AI may pass the redirect data to third-party AI providers, and its answers can be wrong
• Not for you if you want anything beyond redirects and headers, like tags, headings or schema

Check My Links

• It checks the page in front of you and does not crawl a whole site.
• Excluding headers and footers, bulk rechecks and report filters need the $29 Advanced key.
• The free version may show product tips after a few days; only the paid key hides them.
• Listed for Chrome, Edge and Firefox, and Brave and Opera through the Chrome store; SelectorsHub says there is no Safari version.

Redirect Path

• It is listed for Chrome only; Ayima names no Firefox, Safari or Edge version.
• It reports on URLs you visit one at a time and does not crawl a list of URLs.
• Ask Ayima AI may pass the redirect data to third-party AI providers, and the licence warns its answers can be wrong.
• The Chrome Web Store lists the interface in English only.

Check My Links

One-click link scan

Fetches every link on the page with its HTTP status code and counts valid links, valid redirects, warnings and invalid links.

Highlights on the page

Marks each link in place by its result, so broken links can be found where they sit; highlighting can be turned off.

Google Docs and Sheets

Finds and checks the links inside a Google Doc or Google Sheet as well as on ordinary web pages, iframes and shadow DOM.

Exclusions and scan speed

Skip links to chosen domains, include or ignore empty links and set how many links are checked per batch.

Reports

View the report in the browser or download it as CSV; the paid key adds Excel export and filters by status code or link type.

Section exclusion and bulk recheck

With the Advanced key, leave out headers and footers from a scan and recheck every invalid link at once.

Redirect Path

Status code flags

The toolbar icon flags 301, 302, 404 and 500 responses on the page you load, and adds a plus sign when there are several redirects.

Client-side redirects

Detects meta refresh and JavaScript redirects as well as server redirects, so the whole path to a page is shown.

HTTP headers and server IP

Shows the response headers for each step, such as server type and caching headers, along with the server's IP address.

HSTS explanation

Explains when a 307 is only Chrome's cached HSTS upgrade from http to https rather than a redirect set by the site.

Ask Ayima AI

An optional button sends the redirect chain's URLs, status codes and headers to Ayima AI for an analysis; nothing is sent unless you click it.
