Broken Link Checker — No Signup Required

Paste a URL, get a broken-link report. No email, no account, no software install. PerfBee's free broken link checker runs in your browser and returns results in under a minute — designed for the times you just need a quick check, not another SaaS account.

Why most broken link checkers ask for signup

Most "free" broken link checkers gate the actual scan behind a signup form because they want your email for marketing. PerfBee's free tool runs without any registration — the trade-off is that we limit free scans to a single page at a time and 200 links per scan. If you need to scan an entire site, then you'll want an account, but for a one-off check there's no friction.

What the free no-signup tool checks

For any URL you paste, the tool fetches the page, extracts every <a href> link (internal and external), then HTTP-checks each link in parallel. You get a full report showing: HTTP status code, response time, redirect chain (if any), final destination URL, and whether the link is internal or external. Results stay on screen for as long as your browser tab is open.

When you might want to sign up anyway

The free no-signup tool is built for single-page audits. If you want to crawl your whole site (more than 50 pages), schedule recurring scans, get email alerts when new broken links appear, or share reports with your team, that's when a free PerfBee account starts to make sense. The free plan still costs nothing.

Privacy of the no-signup scan

When you run a scan without signing up, PerfBee processes the page on our servers and returns the result to your browser. We log the URL you scanned (to prevent abuse) and the result for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the scan history is purged. We never sell or share scan data with third parties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really free, or is there a hidden catch?expand_more

No catch. The single-page broken link check is 100% free, no signup, no email, no credit card. The trade-off is that it's limited to one page per scan and 200 links per scan. If you need to crawl more, sign up for the free account tier.

Do I have to provide an email to see results?expand_more

No. Results appear directly in your browser. There's no email gate, no "sign up to see full report" trick, no email lookup form.

How is this different from your paid version?expand_more

The no-signup version: checks one page per scan, up to 200 links, no history kept after 24 hours, no scheduled scans, no email alerts. The free account adds: unlimited pages per crawl on small sites, scheduled daily scans, email alerts, and 30-day scan history. Paid plans add unlimited crawl size and team features.

Why don't you require signup like everyone else?expand_more

Because some checks should just work. The marketing logic for gating free tools behind signup forms is real (lower CAC, higher conversion), but the user experience is bad — people end up testing one URL, hitting a signup wall, and bouncing. We'd rather earn the signup by letting you see the product work first.
