Maintaining Healthy Documentation Links

Broken or malformed links diminish reader trust and damage SEO rankings. Auditing link destinations and anchor text ensures a seamless reader journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Markdown Link Checker inspect?

It extracts all hyperlinks, checks for insecure HTTP URLs, flags bare unformatted URLs (e.g. https://example.com without descriptive anchor text), identifies generic anchor phrases ("click here"), and flags empty destination links.

How do I fix bare URLs in 1 click?

Click the "Auto-Wrap" button in the inspector table next to any bare URL to automatically convert it into a standard [Title](URL) markdown link.

Are external links pinged over the network?

To preserve complete user privacy and prevent CORS failures, the inspector performs AST pattern validation client-side without sending unsolicited network requests to external domains.
