Checking links in the Pages application

If the validator finds broken links on the page, you can view the following information for each detected issue:

  • Status code - the HTML status code returned when the link is accessed. Statuses of redirected links are shown for each page within the redirection.
  • Type - W for links redirected to a different location (301 status code), E for broken links (404 status code).
  • Error message - details about the link issue.
  • URL - URL to which the link is pointing.
  • Request time - time elapsed between sending a request to the link and receiving a response.
