Choose "Check Page Links" in the "Tools" menu, by right-clicking on any webpage, or click the available toolbar button to check all page links

You can also select portions of a page, right-click, then choose "Check Links in Selected"

Tell LinkChecker what not to check

Choose your own LinkChecker highlight colors

Default link color highlight key:
red - broken links
yellow - forwarded, forbidden links
green - good links
gray - skipped links*

* no email links and other web protocols that don't return standard HTTP headers are checked with LinkChecker

• link duplication checking/count
• options dialog to set timeout, color, skip criteria, right-click menu visibility, and other settings
