> Broken link checker for web pages, Google Docs and Sheets

Checked Oct 23, 2026 · graded Oct 23, 2026 by ToolGPA.

Check My Links is a browser extension from SelectorsHub that scans every link on the page you are viewing, reports its HTTP status and highlights valid, redirected and broken links in place. It also works inside iframes, shadow DOM, Google Docs and Google Sheets, and results can be viewed or downloaded as a CSV report. The core checker is free; a one-time Advanced Features Key adds section exclusion, bulk rechecks and report filters.

## Key features

- **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.

## Good for

- Content editors checking a page for broken links before publishing
- Finding dead links inside Google Docs and Sheets
- SEOs who want a free, unlimited per-page link check

## Worth knowing

- 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.8 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. Check My Links tests every link on the page you're on, marks each one in place by its status, and works inside Google Docs and Sheets too, with no scan limits on the free version. It checks one page at a time, the free version shows product tips after a few days, and leaving out headers and footers or rechecking in bulk needs the $29 key.

- **Value for money: A.** The free version has no scan limits, and the Advanced key is $29 once, with lifetime updates. That's less than one month of this category's middle subscription at $29.95.
- **Free plan and trial: A.** Free forever with no scan limits: every link's status, Google Docs and Sheets, domain exclusions and CSV reports. Product tips may appear after a few days.
- **Features: D.** One narrow function: each link's HTTP status, highlighted on the page, including iframes, shadow DOM, Docs and Sheets, with CSV reports. No tags, headings, schema or search data, and no site crawl.
- **Ease of use: B.** No rating on record, but nothing to set up: click the icon and the page's links are marked by result.
- **Platforms and integrations: C.** Chrome, Edge and Firefox, plus Brave and Opera through the Chrome store, so computers only, with no Safari version. It works inside Google Docs and Sheets.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Your call.** Check My Links sits between: not beyond making, and not a weekend's work either. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. At $29, paid once, it costs less than the weekend it would take to replace, which is the argument for keeping it.

- You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
- You could not: A crawler that checks every page of a site.
