Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.8
GPA, above 4 of the 34 other SEO browser extensions we grade
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.
To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Check My Links, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No rating on record, but nothing to set up: click the icon and the page's links are marked by result.
- 1
Best for finding broken links on one page
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.
- 2
What it costs
Paid plans start at $29 one-time for lifetime access to the advanced features.
- 3
There is a free plan
Free forever with no scan limits: status codes for every link, Google Docs and Sheets support, domain exclusions and CSV reports.
- 4
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.
- 5
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.
- 6
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.
- 7
A 2.8 GPA, above 4 of 34

The report card
Best for finding broken links on one page
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Check My Links is for
- Fits if you check a page for broken links before you publish it
- Works for finding dead links inside Google Docs and Sheets
Who it is not for
- 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

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
What you could make
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- A crawler that checks every page of a site.
What this rests on. Check My Links’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
