Anyone any experience, please, of [this Plugin](http://www.cosculture.com/plugins-stacks/product/link-inspector/)?

If not, what would you recommend for **checking site links** from within _RW6_?

TIA…

I check all my links by hand. Even the smartest plugin isn’t going to know if you’ve linked to the wrong thing! Having said that, Cos Culture is a good developer so I would be pretty confident that this would do as good a job as any other plugin.

You could just use [https://validator.w3.org/checklink](https://validator.w3.org/checklink)

I’ve just tested my site with w3’s checklink and it works a treat. Great post peterdankwerts.

Thanks, Mike and Peter!

What you say makes perfect sense - just that I also like the convenience of having a ‘local’ checker.

Although _Link Inspector_ does seem expensive… :-(.
