If you’re using Linux as your primary OS, here’s a useful too to check for broken links on your websites. gURLChecker is a simple tool to check for broken links on any website. It can work on a whole site, a single local page or a browser bookmarks file.
If you’re using Ubuntu, it’s quite easy to install this tool, just head over to your Terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install gurlchecker
