Testing broken links

[JimHalpert]

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if there is a tool that can do the following:
1) Search for broken links on a website and do it with different IP addresses? Reason is that my site has links that redirect users to different links based on their IP. So I would need to check whether the various redirects when users click on the link work as well.
2) Searches hidden pages on my websites.

A search on this forum revealed some options like:
1) Broken Link Checker (Wordpress plugin) - Does not do either of the above.
2) Screaming Frog - Unclear if it performs any of the above based on reading the faq.

If not, how do you guys go about it?

Cheers.

You could kinda do it manually. Get a simple proxy rotator browser plugin and buy 20 dorrahs worth of proxies for a month and give it a whirl yourself. Not sure if anything automated does that but even if it did, if it uses free proxies you'll get false positives via shit free proxies not working in the first place

I believe you can do it with scrapebox, not sure though if proxies work with broken links checker.

thanks everyone for the replies. Reading Scrapbox website, I don't understand how the software helps me with testing. Could you please elaborate?

For example, http://www.scrapebox.com/features, doesn't make any mention of URL checking?

As well as the features, there's a whole bunch of addons included too http://www.scrapebox.com/addons

There's a broken links checker http://www.scrapebox.com/broken-links-checker and yes it uses proxies.
