Do you reference others’ material on your website? Often run into broken links from content being removed?

In this post, we’re going to introduce you to The Internet Archive’s “Wayback Machine” and show you how it can be used to fix broken links.

Hi,

That is cool. Never knew there was such a thing. :). Unless someone tells you that you have a broken link on your site, how do you know? Is there a link checker for your website?

Just curious! Thanks for the great info. :)

Hello Geri!

First, thanks for the message!

As for how to check, here's what we use:

Otherwise, this one's a bit more complicated, but it also works (last time we checked):

If you ever have any other questions that can be turned into an article, don't be shy to put in a request via our website!

All the best,
