AI Detection That Catches
What Others Miss
Traditional link checkers only read HTTP status codes. DeadLinkRadar reads the page — detecting soft 404s, login walls, and expired content invisible to other tools.
How the AI Pipeline Works
Three steps from import to actionable intelligence
Import & Scan
Add your links via URL, CSV, or sitemap. Standard HTTP checks run first — catching obvious 404s, timeouts, and server errors instantly.
Fast AI Analysis
Links returning HTTP 200 get a fast AI scan. The analyzer reads page content like a human — detecting error messages, removal notices, and redirect traps.
Deep Analysis
Ambiguous results trigger a deeper analysis pass. A more thorough AI model examines page structure, login forms, and content patterns for high-confidence verdicts.
Confidence Scoring
Every analyzed link receives a confidence score from 0 to 100
AI is highly confident this link is dead or problematic. Fix immediately.
Potential issue worth reviewing. May need human judgment.
Flagged as suspicious. Investigate when time allows.
Traditional Checkers vs AI Detection
HTTP status codes only tell half the story
| Capability | Traditional Checkers | DeadLinkRadar AI |
|---|---|---|
| Soft-404 pages (200 OK with error content) | ||
| Login wall detection | ||
| Deleted content on file hosting platforms | ||
| Expired cloud storage links | ||
| Video platform monitoring (YouTube, Vimeo) | ||
| Content analysis beyond HTTP codes | ||
| Per-link confidence scoring (0-100) |
What AI Detection Catches
Problems invisible to traditional link checkers
Soft-404 Pages
Detects pages returning HTTP 200 but showing "Not Found," "Page Removed," or generic error content invisible to basic checkers.
Login Wall Detection
Catches links that redirect to sign-in forms or paywall gates — content your readers can no longer access.
Deleted & Expired Content
Identifies removed files on 38+ cloud and file hosting platforms, expired share links, and discontinued product pages.
Video Platform Monitoring
Detects deleted or private YouTube and Vimeo videos that still return valid page responses but display error players.
