Link checks
How Linkee checks a link
What a check looks at, how often it runs, and what it cannot see — so you know exactly what “link found” means.
- Every week for external sites
- Every day for your own sites
- “Check now” — result within minutes

What is compared with the deal
- The link is on the pageEven when it is loaded by JavaScript.
- The anchor matchesLetter case and stray spaces do not count as a change.
- The rel matchesIf you agreed on dofollow, a nofollow shows up as a mismatch.
- No redirectA link that now redirects somewhere else is a mismatch.
- Not hidden in noindexA link closed from indexing is a mismatch.
- No cloakingOnce a week we look at the page as Google does, and compare.
How often
- Pages on external sites
- Every week — that is where bought links live
- Pages on your own sites
- Every day
- “Check now”
- Within a few minutes
- A placement marked done
- Checked right away
- The site did not respond
- We try again the next day
What a check cannot tell you
Blocked pages
If a site does not respond or blocks us, that is “could not check”, not a lost link.
Clever cloaking
A site that can tell the real Googlebot from us can still fool the check.
Indexing
Whether the page is indexed by Google or Yandex is not checked.
