Link Audit Tool
Audit every link, button, and CTA on any webpage. Find broken links, placeholder destinations, redirect chains, and accessibility issues. Visual screenshot with numbered markers, exportable inventory. No signup.
Why link audits matter for landing pages
A broken CTA on a landing page is silent revenue loss. A button pointing to # looks fine to the naked eye and costs you nothing until someone clicks it — then it costs you a conversion. Most QA processes catch visual bugs but miss destination issues because they don't check where every element actually links to.
This tool audits the entire clickable surface of a page in one pass: links, buttons, image wrappers, navigation items, footer links, social icons, and forms. Every destination is checked against its HTTP status. The visual screenshot overlay lets QA teams pinpoint exactly where on the page each issue lives without hunting through the DOM.
More thorough than W3C Link Checker & Screaming Frog (for single pages)
W3C's Link Checker is HTML-only — it misses everything rendered by JavaScript. Screaming Frog is a full-site crawler with a learning curve and a £149/year price tag. This tool is purpose-built for single-page audits: paste a URL, get a complete clickable element report in under 30 seconds, free.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Link Audit tool do?
It crawls a single webpage using Playwright (so JavaScript-rendered content is fully supported), extracts every clickable element — links, buttons, forms, CTAs, social icons, navigation items — checks the HTTP status of each destination, and generates a visual audit report with issues and recommendations.
Does it work on JavaScript-rendered pages?
Yes. The tool uses Playwright/Chromium to fully render the page including React, Vue, and Next.js apps before extracting elements. Static HTML-only tools miss a large portion of links on modern SPAs.
What types of issues does it detect?
Broken links (404, 500), placeholder CTAs pointing to # or javascript:void(0), redirect chains, missing form actions, external links opening in the same tab, and elements with no accessible label.
What is a CTA audit?
The CTA Audit section identifies every primary and secondary call-to-action on the page, shows where it links, what the final URL is after any redirects, its HTTP status, and a recommendation — all in one table.
Can I export the results?
Yes. Export the full link inventory as CSV (for spreadsheets) or JSON (for developers and automation). The export respects any active search/filter so you can export a subset.
