Free agency tools / Broken Link & Mixed Content Checker

Find broken links & mixed content

Dead links cost SEO and trust; insecure http:// assets on an HTTPS page trip the browser's padlock. We scan one page instantly — enter a URL to see what it's hiding.

How it works

  1. 1Enter a URL — we fetch that one page over HTTP (no JavaScript is run).
  2. 2Every http:// asset on an HTTPS page is flagged as mixed content.
  3. 3Up to 20 links and assets are status-checked; 404/410/5xx or no-response counts as broken.
  4. 4Auth walls and rate limits (401/403/429) are reported as 'couldn't verify', not broken.

Frequently asked

Why only 20 links?

This is a fast, free spot check of a single page. Whole-site, continuous monitoring is what xCloud's Broken Link Monitoring is for — it crawls every page and re-checks on a schedule.

What is mixed content?

An image, script, stylesheet or iframe loaded over http:// on an https:// page. Browsers block active mixed content and warn on the rest, breaking the padlock and sometimes the page.

It says a link is 'unverified' — is it broken?

Probably not. Some servers answer bots with 401/403/429 while working fine in a browser, so we don't call those broken — we flag them as unverified so you can spot-check manually.

Does it run JavaScript?

No — it's an HTTP fetch, so links added by client-side scripts won't be seen. Most links live in the HTML and are covered.
