Check Links

The standard and professional editions allow you to view and/or check links. To do this, select the Links tab in the Results Window and then click the Check Links button () to check the links (if it is not already automatically checking the links). Note that the links only appear after opening and validating a document.

When the check is finished, CSE HTML Validator will place a red square in front of all the links that appear to be broken. By default, a yellow square will be placed in front of redirected links. If HTML Validator does not know how to check a link then a blue square is placed in front of the link.

Note that CSE HTML Validator will only check local file or HTTP links and will do a syntax check on email addresses (email address syntax checking can be disabled). By default, CSE HTML Validator will automatically press the Check Links button () for you to check links in the background while you work. You can disable automatic link checking in the Editor Options.

The Batch Wizard can be used to check the links of an entire website (professional edition only). Note that link checking can be limited to specified links.
