Check URLs for Broken Links using URL Verifier:
URL Verifier is very easy to use, though there is no file menu or “Open File” button on its interface. The main point to be noted here is that URLs can not be copy pasted, opened, or drag n dropped on to the program’s interface. They can only be loaded altogether using Unicode file.
So in order to use URL Verifier, the first thing you need to do is to paste all the URLs in a text file and export the file to Unicode format. You can use TED Notepad, or other similar program for this.
Once the file is ready, you can make a right click somewhere in the center of the URL Verifier’s interface and choose “Load URLs from Unocode.txt File option”. Now browse the file from your system and click “Open”. This will load all the URLs from the Unicode file to URL Verifier for verification.
Now open again make a right-click on the interface and choose “Verify All” option to verify all the URLs in one go. You can also click on the “Start verification” button on the ribbon interface for this purpose. If the program gives a connection error due to slow internet connectivity, you can verify independent links also.
During this whole process, URL Verifier displays the status message against each URL telling whether it is valid or broken, and generates a text report covering all the details it has found during the verification.
In order to open any valid link in your default browser, you simply need to make a double click on its entry or select the corresponding option from the right-click menu.
