Link checker
The Link checker module automatically finds broken links within your website's content. It scans links when content is saved and periodically checks them to identify which ones are no longer working. The module then reports these broken links to administrators and authors, with options to receive email notifications.
The Link checker module extracts links from your content when saved and periodically tries to detect broken hypertext links by checking the remote sites and evaluating the HTTP response codes. It shows all broken links in the reports/logs section and on the content edit page, if a link check has been failed. An author specific broken links report is also available in "My Account".
