How to check broken links on my site?

[amandaseo]

Screaming frog is too expensive
I used also xenu sleuth but it only crawls 3 pages....maybe there is an error of some sort?
Is there a free alternative?

Reply to my own post:
I just tried this on a ~1000 posts Wordpress site. It found 135 old posts with broken links.
It doesn't just check for 404 but 502, 500, time out, Invalid host name and more.

It's a really good free service.

I think you need at least 15 posts in order to activate the PM. Or was it 50 posts?? I don't remember...

it is one of a few benefits of overrated screaming frog lol

Free method:

1. Scrape the links on the particular page and list them in the excel sheet.
2. Run the page bulk and find the 404 pages in the list.

There you can find the broken links, but it will take some time to complete it.
