Check my links

A small CLI tool to make sure your website doesn't have any 404s or 500s:

$ check-my-links francisco.io
https://francisco.io 🔎
Status  Time    Found   Path
200     0.604s  +13     /
200     0.275s  +1      /resume
200     0.324s  +0      /blog/running-php-in-javascript
...

Features:

• Visual hierarchy and colors; green = OK, red = problem, gray = meta information.
• Follows UNIX conventions of separating elements with '\t'.
• Use --help for further CLI instructions.
• Use the flag --plain for even better and easier CLI usage. You can pipe that out easily.
• Use the flag --links for more insight of where the broken links come from.

# Works great with other UNIX tools; e.g. print only the 404s
echo "francisco.io" | check-my-links --plain | grep 404
