For years, Check My Links was the go-to Chrome extension. But in 2026, extensions have a major flaw: They eat your RAM.
Every extension you install slows down your computer. If you are doing outreach, you don't want your browser crashing just because you are scanning a large page.
Link Scout 404 solves this by running the scan on our servers. Close the tab, switch devices, or scan massive pages without the lag.
Yes. Unlike Chrome extensions, Link Scout 404 works on iPhone, Android, and tablets because it runs in the cloud.
Use a web-based scanner like Link Scout 404. It scans the URL directly from your browser without requiring any downloads or permissions.
