Link Checking Tools

Link checking tools test each link of your web site to make sure that it does not take users to a page that does not exist. More link checking tools allow you to schedule regular link checks so that you can keep testing your links. More advanced link checking tools test that the page linked to is the correct page by checking for some individual feature about that page. These tools help to ensure that visitors to your website will never experience a page not found error again.
