# Broken link detection

> Lemwatch's broken link detection check runs on every site you monitor, with smart thresholds and one alert pipeline shared across all 20+ checks.

## How the broken link detection check works

 Lemwatch's broken link detection runs on every site you monitor without extra configuration. Results are scored against a defensible baseline, surfaced in the dashboard with plain-English root causes, and routed through the same alert pipeline as every other check — so you don't end up with separate inboxes for separate signals.

### What it catches

- Real regressions , not noise — every alert carries the rule that triggered it and the evidence that caused the trigger.

- Multi-region confirmation on transient signals, so you don't wake up at 3am for a single failed probe from one location.

- Historical context — every check writes to a timeline so you can see "first time this has happened in 90 days" versus "this fires twice a week".

### How it fits with the other 20+ checks

 Broken link detection is one of more than 20 checks Lemwatch runs on every site — uptime, Core Web Vitals, SEO health, security headers, SSL, DNS, content changes, broken links, and more. They share one alert pipeline, one dashboard, and one bill. You don't need a separate tool for each.

### Tier availability

 This check runs on Free, Pro, and Agency. Free covers 10 sites. Pro ($19/mo) covers 50 and adds API + webhook access. Agency ($59/mo) covers 100 and adds white-label status pages and priority support.
