About LinkSentry

LinkSentry is a web-based service that monitors outbound links on websites for issues such as broken URLs, malicious destinations, expired domains, and security policy violations. Designed for organizations and individual site owners, it operates by adding a JavaScript snippet to the site, which then continuously scans links based on real user visits. The platform provides alerts via email, Slack, or webhook, and supports exporting reports in PDF or CSV formats. LinkSentry offers several paid plans with a 7-day free trial, scaling from small sites to enterprise needs, and includes features like policy enforcement, security checks, and custom blocklists.
