Your site has broken links
right now. You just don't know it.
LinkWatch crawls your entire website every week and emails you a complete health report — broken links, redirect chains, slow pages, and SSL warnings. No login. No dashboard. Just results.
- Google crawls your site and finds 404s — rankings drop
- Visitors click dead links and leave — trust gone
- Redirect chains slow down page speed — SEO penalty
- Your SSL certificate expires — browsers block visitors
- Slow pages frustrate users before they even read a word
- You only find out when a user complains — too late
One report. Four health checks.
LinkWatch runs four checks every single week and bundles them into one clean email — no need to juggle multiple tools.

This is what lands in your inbox every Monday
A clean, actionable report — no jargon, no noise. Just the issues and where to find them.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Screaming Frog Desktop requires manual runs. Ahrefs starts from $29/month. Dead Link Checker's free tier misses redirect chains and SSL. LinkWatch bundles all four checks in one automated weekly email — at a fraction of the cost.

Common questions
What does LinkWatch check?
+Four things every week: broken links (4xx/5xx errors), redirect chains with 3 or more hops, pages taking longer than 3 seconds to load, and SSL certificate expiry within 30 days — all in one email.
Why not just use a free tool like Dead Link Checker?
+Free tools require you to manually run them — and you'll forget. LinkWatch runs automatically every week without you thinking about it. The free tier of Dead Link Checker also doesn't include redirect chain detection, slow page detection, or SSL expiry warnings.
How many pages does LinkWatch crawl?
+Up to 300 pages per site per week. For most small to medium websites this covers the full site. Every internal and external link found on those pages is checked.
Do I need to log in or install anything?
+No login. No dashboard. No extension. No desktop app. You enter your URL and email, pay, and reports arrive in your inbox automatically. That's it.
When do I get my first report?
+Within minutes of payment — we crawl your site immediately. After that, reports arrive every Monday morning.
Can I monitor more than one site?
+Yes — subscribe once per site. Each subscription is $8/month and covers one domain with full weekly monitoring.
How do I cancel?
+Every report email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click cancels both monitoring and your $8/month billing immediately. No questions, no retention flow, no support ticket needed. If you have any trouble, email contact@snifox.com and we'll cancel it for you.
