How It Works

This automated solution eliminates the manual work of checking external links. It reads your content directly from Google Sheets, extracts the outbound URLs, and performs a rapid HTTP check on each one.

Smart & Asynchronous

Built with Python and httpx, the script checks up to 50 links concurrently. It safely manages timeouts and connection limits, saving its progress automatically so you never lose data during a large scan.

Actionable Sheet Outputs

Instead of just logging errors, the script dynamically calculates ranges and writes the exact URL, HTTP status code, and a clear verdict (e.g., "Not Found," "Forbidden") right next to your content in the spreadsheet.

SEO Automation

Broken Outbound Link Finder
