Instructions

Find the action under "plugins"
The only required parameter is a URL. All the other value defaults are sensible, and you are unlikely to need to change them.

See returned values from the action. "OK" is when an HTTP code 200 is returned. 404 for example is "page not found". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTTP_status_codes

For testing URL's to match the best Regular Expression I can find, use the element.

Watch the video for more details, especially how to use this as a Backend Workflow.

Unmatched support

I needed the plugin to do something it didn't do (scrape images), asked for help and a few days later there was an update that scraped images, nothing else is needed to be said :)
Can't speak more highly about the developer!

I've been searching for an image/URL checking plugin for a while, and this one has been really helpful for me. Primarily because the developer has been so great to work with. We have collaborated on trying to see where improvements can be made -- and he has been incredibly responsive & knowledgeable about how to build it into the best broken link / photo checking solution. One note is that it still times out after ~150-200 links, but we're working to see if that can be improved.. I'm sure he will figure out how to solve it. Thanks so much for all of your help LK!
Made by someone who cares.

Great plugin which gets updates. Great support and dev is really open to feedback. I wish all plugins/devs would be more like this.
Works like a charm

Easily does what it's supposed to do. Can run on multiple links through an API endpoint.
