Today we're introducing the Dead Link Checker, a new Premium feature that automatically monitors your bookmarks for broken and redirected links.
How It Works
LinkaGoGo checks your bookmarks in the background every few hours. Each link is classified as:
- OK — the page loads normally.
- Redirect — the URL has moved to a new address (301/302/308).
- Dead — the page returns a 404, 410, or has failed multiple checks.
- Uncertain — the server returned a temporary error or blocked the request (e.g. 403, 5xx). A second consecutive failure upgrades this to dead.
Private URLs (local network addresses, non-HTTP schemes) are automatically skipped.
Wayback Machine Recovery
When a link is confirmed dead, LinkaGoGo queries the Wayback Machine for an archived copy. If one exists, you'll see a View Archive button that takes you straight to the most recent snapshot. Your bookmark may be gone from the live web, but it's probably not gone forever.
Fix Redirects in One Click
For bookmarks that have moved to a new URL, click Update URL to replace the old address with the redirect target. No need to manually edit the bookmark.
Where to Find It
Open Tools from your user menu. The Dead Link Checker section shows a live status summary. If there are issues to review, click Review to see the full list with actions for each bookmark.
You can also Ignore links you know are fine (like intranet pages that return errors from outside your network) to skip them in future checks.
Premium Feature
The Dead Link Checker is available on the Premium plan ($29.95/year). It joins Duplicate Detection and Email Backup as part of LinkaGoGo's Premium toolkit for serious bookmark collectors.
