What is the Internal Link Auditor?
Links to tool pages break more often than people expect. A slug gets mistyped while writing, a draft is copied from an old note, or an address is typed from memory with a missing letter. Visitors who click a broken link land on a 404 page instead of the tool they wanted, and a page full of dead links looks neglected. Editors, forum members and anyone embedding Bytelyx tools on their own site can catch these mistakes before publishing.
Paste HTML, Markdown or plain text and the auditor finds every /tools/ path in it, whether written as a relative link or as a full bytelyx.com address. It lowercases and deduplicates the slugs, then checks each one against the current list of published tools and marks it as a published tool or an unknown slug. The check runs entirely in your browser against the bundled catalog; it never requests the pages, so it is instant and works on unpublished drafts.
How to use it
- 1Paste HTML or text containing Bytelyx tool links.
- 2Review which slugs match published tools.
- 3Correct any mistyped paths before publishing.
How it works
The browser extracts Bytelyx tool URLs from pasted text and compares their slugs to the tool registry, with no remote requests.
Example
Paste an article containing /tools/image-compressor and a mistyped /tools/image-compressr link to flag the typo.
Limitations & notes
- Checks Bytelyx tool paths only; it does not request pages or check external links.
- Dynamic forum and request URLs are outside this catalog check.
Frequently asked questions
Why are broken internal links a problem?
A broken link sends visitors to an error page at the moment they wanted to act, which usually means they leave. Search engine crawlers also follow internal links to discover pages, so a mistyped link wastes that path. A handful of 404s will not sink a site, but fixing them is one of the cheapest quality improvements an editor can make.
Which link formats does the auditor recognize?
It finds any text containing /tools/ followed by a slug, so href attributes, Markdown links and plain URLs all work, with or without https://www.bytelyx.com in front. Query strings and fragments are ignored, so /tools/subnet-calculator?ref=post is checked as subnet-calculator. A link written without the leading slash, such as tools/subnet-calculator, is not detected.
Why is a working category page flagged as unknown?
The auditor compares slugs with individual tool pages only. Category pages such as /tools/networking load correctly on the site, but they are not tools, so they appear as unknown slugs. Legacy /tools/category/ links are skipped entirely. Treat an unknown result as a prompt to check the link, not as proof that it returns an error.
Does it check links to other websites?
No, and it can over-match them. The auditor does not fetch any URL, so it cannot tell whether an external page is up. Because it looks for the /tools/ path pattern, a link such as example.com/tools/widgets is also listed and will be marked as an unknown slug. Ignore those entries or remove external links before auditing.
