Broken Link Crawler (SEO Check)FEATURE
A hidden 404 page can destroy your SEO and user experience. With our new Broken Link Crawler, Perch will automatically scan your monitor's homepage every 24 hours. If we detect any broken links (404s, 500s, network errors), we'll email you immediately so you can fix them before your users or search engines notice! You can enable this on the monitor creation or edit page.
