Frequently asked questions

Is Web Accurify really free?

Yes. All 8 core checks - broken links, SEO meta, SSL, security headers, redirects, social preview, DNS lookup, and site health - are free with no account and no request limit designed to push you toward a paid plan.

Do I need an account?

Not for the free checks. You only need an account to use a Pro tool (uptime monitoring, bulk monitoring, historical tracking, API access, or the full-site PDF report).

Is this the same account as Accurify?

No. Web Accurify has its own separate login and registration, even if you use the same email on both. Signing into one does not sign you into the other.

What's the difference between the whole-site crawl and the single-page check?

The Broken Link Checker's single-page mode checks only the links on the URL you give it. Whole-site mode also follows your sitemap.xml and internal links (up to a page/link cap) to check a broader slice of your site in one run.

How do the Pro tools' pricing work?

4 of them (Uptime, Bulk, Historical, API) are monthly subscriptions, each with its own price. The 5th, Full Site Report, is different - see the next question. The All-Access bundle is $59.99/month and includes all 4 subscriptions plus unlimited reports. See the Pricing page for details.

What's in the Full Site Report, and how is it priced?

It runs all 8 free checks - SEO, SSL, security headers, redirects, social preview, DNS, site health, and a single-page broken-link check - against one URL and combines everything into one downloadable PDF. It's not a subscription: $1 buys 10 report credits, spent one per report, and they don't expire. All-Access subscribers get unlimited reports instead.

Can I cancel a Pro tool?

Yes, cancel any individual tool or the bundle at any time from your account - no minimum commitment.

Do you store the sites I check?

Free checks aren't logged or linked to your identity. If you're on a Pro plan with Historical Tracking, your own check results are saved to your own account so you can see trends - visible only to you.

Is it safe to check any URL?

We validate every URL before requesting it and block private, loopback, and internal IP ranges, so the tools can't be used to probe internal networks.

What happens if a site takes too long to respond?

Every check has a request timeout, and the whole-site crawl has an overall time budget, so a slow or unresponsive site fails cleanly instead of hanging.
