Hidden problems

Small Website Issues Can Become Big Headaches

A website can look perfectly fine while hiding broken links, missing images, unnecessary redirects and indexing problems. These issues can frustrate visitors, interrupt navigation and make it harder for search engines to understand your pages.

TheUrlInsights helps you find the problems that deserve attention before they go unnoticed.

Broken links and missing resources

Discover links that lead nowhere, images that fail to load and resources that return errors.

Impacts bounce rate & user trust

Redirects that need attention

Identify redirect chains, redirect loops and links that still point to HTTP URLs.

Wastes crawl budget & adds latency

Pages with indexing problems

Check robots.txt rules, noindex directives, canonical URLs and sitemap inclusion to spot potential barriers to search visibility.

Your Website Link Checker, Right Where You Work

Forget switching between multiple tools just to understand what's happening on a page. Open TheUrlInsights in Chrome to check links, review their statuses and inspect the details behind each result.

See issues directly on the page

Links are highlighted according to their status, helping you distinguish working links from warnings and broken links at a glance.

Investigate every result

Open a result to review its HTTP status, response time, final destination, redirect chain, response headers and other technical details.

Find the exact element

Use the Locate feature to jump to a link or resource on the page. Inspect its HTML snippet and XPath to understand where the issue occurs.

Export the results you need

Export visible link results to CSV or copy them as JSON for further analysis, documentation or sharing.

Runs in your browser

Check Websites Without Installing Anything on Them

Your page content stays in your browser rather than being uploaded to TheUrlInsights. Requests are sent from your computer to the websites being checked, and those checks do not carry your browser's cookies. This means pages that require an authenticated session may show as requiring authentication.

  • Checks run in your browser No TheUrlInsights server in between
  • No cookies sent Pages are checked as a signed-out visitor
  • Page content never leaves your device Scan history and PDF reports stay local too

Support & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a broken link checker?
A broken link checker examines the links on a website to find out whether they lead to working pages or return errors such as 404 Not Found, 500 Server Error or connection failures. TheUrlInsights checks links and page resources directly within Chrome.
How do I check broken links on a website?
To check a single page, install the TheUrlInsights Chrome extension, open the page and click the extension icon. To check many pages at once, open Full site scan from the panel's header or from the page's right-click menu.
Does TheUrlInsights check an entire website?
Yes. Full site scan goes through a website page by page, within the same domain, its subdomains or a single folder, and checks the links and resources it finds. The Free plan includes three scans a month of up to 100 pages each; Pro and Agency scan up to 10,000 pages.
Can I use TheUrlInsights as an SEO audit tool?
Yes. The SEO tab runs 15 checks in three groups: indexing (robots.txt, robots directives, AI crawlers, canonical, hreflang, sitemap and redirects), content (title, description, headings and image alt text) and markup (social previews, structured data and page basics).
Does a broken link always mean a 404 error?
No. A link can also fail with a server error (500, 502 or 503), a timeout, a host that doesn't resolve, a certificate error, a redirect loop or blocked mixed content. Some pages return 200 OK while showing a not-found message; TheUrlInsights flags these as possible soft 404s.
Does TheUrlInsights upload my website content?
No. Links are checked from your browser, straight to the sites they point to, and page content is never uploaded to TheUrlInsights. Full site scan history and PDF reports stay in your browser too.
Can I export my link-checking results?
Yes. In the panel, export the results you're viewing as CSV or copy them as JSON. Full site scans also export CSV and PDF reports: a summary report on every plan and a full report on Pro and Agency.
Is TheUrlInsights free?
Yes. Every link and SEO check in the panel is free on every plan, along with three full site scans a month of up to 100 pages each. Paid plans raise the scan limits and add the full PDF report. New accounts start with a 14-day Pro trial, with no credit card needed.
Do I need access to my website's server?
No. TheUrlInsights checks the page as your browser sees it. You don't need FTP or SSH access, a plugin or admin rights. You only need to sign in to the extension with your Google account.
Who should use TheUrlInsights?
SEO specialists, web developers, content editors, QA testers and website owners who want to find broken links and technical SEO issues before visitors and search engines do.
