Link Inspector FAQs

What does Link Inspector check?

It checks destination page status, multiple redirects, security certificates, social sharing previews, and page content to help you verify link quality before sharing.

Can I inspect links before they go live?

Yes. Inspect the live public http:// or https:// destination before you publish so you can confirm the final page, redirect path, and share preview.

Does Link Inspector work with external URLs?

Yes. It works with public http:// and https:// URLs, including short links not created on ShortUrl.bot, as long as the destination is publicly reachable.

Is the inspection data stored?

Each inspection fetches the destination again so you can review current results. This page does not provide a saved inspection history.
