The Web Management System (WMS) includes a link checker on each website that automatically and continuously checks for broken links.
In this article:
The link checker runs continuously, hitting each content node (e.g., web pages, blocks, Channels News, Channels Events, etc.) in the WMS approximately every two to four weeks. Each node is checked for broken links to other nodes or to external sites.
Broken links found can be viewed as follows:
Once a link is fixed or removed, it disappears from both of the areas described above.
Note: The link check is applied to ALL nodes (whether published or unpublished), so broken links on unpublished pages will remain listed until the link is fixed/removed, or until the unpublished page is deleted.
For definitions of all status codes, see the Wikipedia page: List of HTTP status codes
When accessing a page in Edit mode, the broken links on that node are displayed with details inside a yellow box at the top of the page.
The number of times that the link failed for each round of link checking (approximately every two to four weeks) is indicated.
