Broken Links & Mixed Content Detection

Blimey can crawl your website to find broken links and mixed content issues.

Running a Scan

Open a monitor's detail page
Navigate to the Broken Links or Mixed Content tab
Click Run Scan to start the crawler

Broken Links

The crawler follows links on your site (up to 100 pages) and reports:

Broken links — URLs that return 404, 500, or other error status codes
Source page — which page on your site contains the broken link
Target URL — the URL that is broken
Status code — the HTTP error code returned

Mixed Content

Mixed content occurs when an HTTPS page loads resources (images, scripts, stylesheets) over insecure HTTP. This can:

Trigger browser security warnings
Reduce user trust
Potentially expose data

The scanner identifies:

Insecure resources loaded on secure pages
The type of resource (image, script, stylesheet, etc.)
The source page where the issue was found

Pages Scanned

After a scan completes, you can expand the pages scanned list to see exactly which pages were crawled. The crawler visits up to 100 pages per scan.
