Broken link checkers are one of those invisible but critical pieces of SEO infrastructure that most founders forget about until a customer reports a 404. The fact that this runs in the cloud means no plugin bloat, which is huge for site performance. The automated background scanning is smart - catching link rot before it tanks your SEO is exactly what solo founders need. One question: does the background scanner check anchor links within pages, or just external broken links? That's usually where most teams get stuck.

Hi! Thanks so much for the kind words and the support!

To answer your question directly:

  1. Anchor/hash links: Currently, the scanner strips fragment identifiers to optimize the crawl budget and avoid redundant queries. I don't verify if the specific element ID exists on the target page.

  2. External links (outbound links): Right now, the scanner filters out external links and focuses purely on your internal site architecture (routing, internal redirect loops, and internal 404s).

Checking outbound external links and validating target anchors is indeed where most tools get stuck, but it's high on my roadmap for future updates!

I´m really appreciate this feedback—it helps us prioritize what to build next. Let us know if these features are a priority for your workflow!
