rsp-blc

A programatic script to run broken-link-checker on a site with minimal console logging. It's a bit slower then running broken-link-checker directly.

Setup

You can clone the repo, install the packages, and run the script to crawl a site looking for broken links. Make sure you have the following requirements installed: node (v12.22.12+) and yarn (v1.22.19+).

yarn install

Getting Started

Run the following to scan a site for its broken links.

yarn run -u <BASE_URL>

or

node ./scripts/blcReport.js -u <BASE_URL>

Usage

-u <BASE_URL> The url of the site to scan (required).

yarn run -u <BASE_URL>

-r Include the redirected urls (http code 308).

yarn run -u <BASE_URL> -r

-t Include the too many request urls (http code 429).

yarn run -u <BASE_URL> -t

-e Include the urls excluded by robot files.

yarn run -u <BASE_URL> -e
