DEAD LINKS, FOUND FIRST

Find broken links before your users do.

Fortely discovers your pages from robots.txt and your sitemap, crawls same-host links, and flags every internal link that returns a 404, a 500, or an unexpected redirect chain.

// HOW IT WORKS
01

Add your site

Paste a URL — Fortely fingerprints your framework, host, sitemap, and robots.txt in seconds.

02

Pick a schedule

Choose how often to scan, from every 4 hours to weekly, and a mobile / desktop / both device profile.

03

Get alerted on regressions

Every scan is diffed against your last baseline — you only hear about what actually changed.

Automated link checking, on your schedule

Fortely discovers pages the same way a search engine does — from your sitemap and robots.txt, then by following same-host links — and re-checks every one on your schedule. A link that broke after a deploy, a page that started 500ing, or a redirect chain that quietly got longer all show up as a diff against your last crawl.

// FAQ
Does it check external links too?+
Broken-link detection focuses on internal links discovered during the crawl — the links most likely to break after your own deploys.
How many pages does it crawl?+
Up to the page limit you configure when adding a site, discovered from your sitemap and robots.txt and expanded via same-host links.
How often does it re-check links?+
On whatever schedule you set for the site — daily or weekly on Pro, or every 4 hours or 15 minutes on Business.
