Page Pulse Link Checker: Find Broken Links Before Your Visitors Do
Page Pulse is a free Chrome extension that scans any webpage, checks every link on it, and shows you exactly what’s broken, in one click. No account, no setup, nothing stored anywhere but your own browser.
- Working
- Broken
- Redirected
- Unable to verify
Still checking links by hand?
A single broken link can send visitors straight to a 404 page, and search engines notice too. Checking every link on a page one by one is slow, and most “link checker” tools either need a paid account or crawl your whole site when all you wanted was to check one page right now.
Page Pulse does the one thing you actually need: scan the page you’re on, right now, for free.
How it works
- 1
Open any webpage and click the Page Pulse icon.
- 2
Click “Scan Links.” Page Pulse reads every link on the page and checks each one.
- 3
See results instantly, color-coded directly on the page: green for working, red for broken, amber for redirected, grey for unable to verify.
- 4
Export the full report to CSV or JSON if you need to share it or keep a record.
Why people use it
- Catch broken links before your visitors or Google do.
- See results without leaving the page: links are highlighted right where they are, with the reason shown on hover.
- Know the difference between a real broken link and a blocked request. Page Pulse never reports a link as broken just because a site blocked the check or asked for a login. It tells you honestly when it can’t verify something, instead of guessing.
- Filter and search results by status, or by internal versus external links.
- Keep a record. Export every scan to CSV or JSON in a couple of clicks.

Frequently asked questions
Read the Page Pulse privacy policy for the full detail on data and permissions.
Is Page Pulse free?
Yes. There’s no paid tier, no account, and no usage limit.
Does Page Pulse store or send my data anywhere?
No. Everything stays in your own browser. Page Pulse has no server and no analytics. Scan results and settings are saved locally on your device, and you can clear them anytime.
Will it scan my whole website?
Not yet. Page Pulse checks the page you’re currently viewing. Whole-site crawling is planned for a future version.
Why do some links show “Unable to verify” instead of a status?
Some websites block automated checks, require a login, or simply don’t respond in time. Rather than guess, Page Pulse tells you honestly when it couldn’t confirm a link’s status, so you never get a false “broken” result.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Install the extension and start scanning. There’s nothing to sign up for.
