Link Checker

This facility lets you check a web page to see whether its links lead to valid targets. It checks 1 link per second, so for some pages output may be slow - I suggest you do something else while you're waiting! For help with interpreting the output, see the notes at the bottom of the page.

Notes

The link-checker depends on the web page being written in correct HTML - it will sometimes silently fail to check the rest of a file once it finds an HTML inaccuracy. If the list of checked links is smaller than expected, use the HTML-checker that is offered (see the common problems listed on our HTML4 page).

The checker reports several types of problems, some of which may be transient. It displays in red the problems it considers important. The numbers below refer to the HTTP codes associated with problem situations.
