Changelog

DeadLinkRadar provides deep integration with Bluesky, the decentralized social network. Track your Bluesky content with the same reliability you expect for file hosting links.

Highlights

• Profile monitoring - Track any Bluesky profile URL for availability
• Post tracking - Monitor individual posts and threads
• All handle formats - Works with usernames, custom domains, and DIDs
• Accurate detection - Know immediately when content becomes unavailable

Supported URL Patterns

Add any Bluesky link to your dashboard:

• Profiles: https://bsky.app/profile/username.bsky.social
• Custom domains: https://bsky.app/profile/yourdomain.com
• Posts: https://bsky.app/profile/username.bsky.social/post/abc123

Why Monitor Bluesky Links?

Social content is ephemeral. Profiles get suspended, posts get deleted, and accounts change handles. If you're referencing Bluesky content in your documentation, blog posts, or content archives, DeadLinkRadar ensures those links stay valid.

Get notified when your tracked Bluesky content becomes unavailable, so you can update your references before your users encounter broken links.

Stop drowning in individual alert emails. Our new Email Digest Scheduler consolidates your dead link notifications into clean, summarized digests delivered on your schedule.

Highlights

• Hourly or daily options - Choose the frequency that fits your workflow
• Timezone-aware delivery - Daily digests arrive at 9 AM in your local time
• Consolidated view - All your dead and recovered links in one email
• Reliable delivery - Never miss an alert with our robust notification system

How It Works

Configure your preferred batching mode in Alert Preferences:

• Immediate: Get notified as soon as a link status changes (default)
• Hourly: Receive a digest every hour with all changes
• Daily: Get a morning summary at 9 AM in your timezone

Each digest includes a clear breakdown of which links went down and which recovered since your last notification.

Getting Started

1. Go to Dashboard → Settings → Alert Preferences
2. Find the Notification Batching section
3. Select Hourly or Daily digest mode
4. Set your timezone for daily digests

Your next digest will arrive at the scheduled time with any pending alerts.

We've expanded GitHub monitoring to support file-level link checking, giving you precise verification of specific files within repositories.

Highlights

• File-level precision - Monitor individual files, not just repositories
• Branch awareness - Track files on specific branches
• Path verification - Confirm exact file paths exist

How It Works

Add any GitHub file URL to monitor specific files. DeadLinkRadar verifies both the repository exists and the specific file is accessible at the given path and branch.

Whether you're tracking a dependency's configuration file, a documentation page, or a specific code file, you'll know immediately if it gets moved or deleted.

Supported URL Patterns

• Repository: https://github.com/owner/repo
• File: https://github.com/owner/repo/blob/main/path/to/file.js
• Any branch: https://github.com/owner/repo/blob/develop/config.json

Use Cases

• Dependency tracking - Monitor config files in projects you depend on
• Documentation links - Ensure your external docs links stay valid
• Reference monitoring - Track specific code examples or tutorials

Say goodbye to duplicate links cluttering your dashboard. DeadLinkRadar now intelligently identifies when you've added the same link in different formats and consolidates them automatically.

Highlights

• Automatic deduplication - Different formats of the same link are recognized as one
• Clean URLs - Marketing trackers and extra parameters are handled gracefully
• Service-aware - Optimized handling for YouTube, K2S, Nitroflare, and more

How It Works

When you add a link, DeadLinkRadar automatically recognizes equivalent URLs. Whether you paste http://www.example.com/page?utm_source=email or https://example.com/page, we know it's the same destination.

This means:

• No more accidental duplicates
• Cleaner organization
• More accurate link counts

Supported Services

Special handling for popular file hosts and video platforms ensures the most accurate deduplication possible. YouTube video links, K2S file links, and many more are handled with service-specific intelligence.

Start adding links - we'll keep things tidy.

We're excited to announce the launch of our REST API, giving you full programmatic control over your link monitoring.

Highlights

• 15 new endpoints covering account, links, groups, and usage
• API key management with secure rotation support
• Batch operations for checking or deleting multiple links at once
• Webhook configuration for real-time notifications

Available Endpoints

Account & Usage

• GET /v1/account - Get account information
• GET /v1/usage - Check current usage and limits

Link Management

• GET /v1/links - List all monitored links
• POST /v1/links - Add a new link
• POST /v1/links/batch - Batch operations
• POST /v1/links/:id/check - Trigger immediate check

Groups

• Full CRUD operations for organizing links

Check out the API documentation to get started.

You can now see estimated check times before triggering link checks, helping you plan accordingly.

What's New

• Individual link estimates - See "Check Now (~3s)" or "Check Now (~45s)" for each link
• Batch estimates - When checking multiple links, see the total estimated time
• Protected site indicator - Warning icon shows when batch includes Cloudflare-protected sites

Why This Matters

Some file hosting services use Cloudflare protection, which requires our bypass system and takes 30-60 seconds per check. Regular sites typically take just 1-3 seconds.

Now you'll always know what to expect before clicking "Check Now".

Links from Cloudflare-protected services now display a shield badge, making it easy to identify which links require our bypass system.

Features

• Visual shield icon next to protected links
• Tooltip with details showing bypass response time
• Supported services - ExLoad, TakeFile, and others with Cloudflare protection

This helps you understand why some checks take longer than others and confirms our bypass system is working for your protected links.
