🚀 New Report Launched: Links Report is Live!

We’ve officially launched the Links Report, making it easier for customers to identify and resolve broken, redirected, or dead links on their websites — all from within the Audit workflow.

Why it matters:
🔗 No more manual link checks
🧭 Full visibility into every link discovered during an Audit
​

💡 Fast insight into what’s broken, what’s redirected, and where each link leads

What it shows:

• Page and element where each link was found
• Destination URL
• Link status (broken, working, redirected, etc.)
• HTTP response codes and final resolved URL

Find it under the Reports section in an Audit. Customers can filter, sort, and export the data to simplify QA and SEO efforts.

Hey there,

We’ve just shipped Sitemap Scanning—a powerful enhancement that helps audits find up to 4x more pages by leveraging your site’s existing robots.txt or sitemap files.

Why it matters:

• 🔍 More complete coverage: Catch issues on pages that aren't linked from the homepage or nav.
• 🛡️ Better compliance & data integrity: Ensure privacy tags, CMPs, and analytics load correctly on all important pages.
• ⚙️ Automatic discovery: Simply toggle “Find Sitemap Pages” when creating an audit and we’ll take care of the rest. This is on by default for all existing and newly created Audits.
  ​

Key Highlights:

• Detects sitemaps via robots.txt or allows you to enter one manually
• Supports large sitemaps (up to 50MB or 50,000 URLs)
• Pages found in sitemaps are fully audited and appear in results
• Works with RSS/Atom feeds too

On by default, see your latest Audit for insights.
