I Built a Free 500-Page Broken Link Checker — Looking for Honest Feedback
Hey Indie Hackers,
I recently built PAH Broken Link Checker, a free browser-based tool for website owners, bloggers and developers.
It can scan up to 500 pages and separates results into:
- Working links
- Broken links
- Redirects
- Internal and external links
- Blocked requests and connection errors
I built it after noticing that some link checkers classify every non-200 response as broken. For example, a 403, 429, timeout or temporary server error often requires manual verification rather than immediate removal.
The tool also shows the source page where each link was found and allows users to export the results as CSV.
I’m now trying to improve the tool based on real usage rather than adding random features.
I would appreciate honest feedback on:
- Is the interface immediately understandable?
- Do the status categories provide enough information?
- Which feature would make the tool more useful in a real SEO workflow?
- Would scheduled scans or email alerts be valuable?
You can test it here:

I’m especially interested in feedback from developers, SEO professionals and website owners. Please be direct—even critical feedback would be useful.
Thanks!
