Quick start: your first check

1

Add your URLs

Paste one URL per line, paste any text that contains links, paste one sitemap URL, or open a CSV or text file.

2

Sign in and check settings

Checks run from MemonaIQ’s server and need a free account. In Settings you can lower the maximum number of redirect hops (10 at most on the free plan).

3

Run the check

Start the check and watch results appear as each destination and redirect hop is inspected.

4

Review and export

Filter for broken links and long chains, open a result to see every hop, then export CSV or JSON for your team.

Best first check: start with 10 to 50 URLs to learn the filters and redirect details. Each URL uses one of your 250 daily checks.

Step-by-step tutorials

5 min

Check every URL in a sitemap

Find broken, redirected and slow URLs that your sitemap lists.

  1. 1.Paste your sitemap’s address on its own, for example https://example.com/sitemap.xml.
  2. 2.Choose Import and check; up to 5,000 URLs it lists are imported and checked.
  3. 3.Filter to Broken, then Redirects and Long chains.
  4. 4.Export the results and assign fixes.
4 min

Clean up redirect chains

Replace multi-hop links with their final destinations.

  1. 1.Paste the URLs you want to inspect.
  2. 2.Run the check with a suitable redirect-hop limit.
  3. 3.Use the Long chains filter to see URLs with more than 3 hops first.
  4. 4.Open a result to verify every hop.
  5. 5.Replace the original link with the final healthy URL.
3 min

Check links from a CSV

Check a spreadsheet export without manual cleanup.

  1. 1.Export your source data as a UTF-8 CSV file.
  2. 2.Open the file in the URL checker; links are picked out of every cell.
  3. 3.Duplicates are removed automatically, and malformed entries are listed as not valid.
  4. 4.Run the check and export the results.
6 min

Explore a crawl on the 3D site map

Trace how pages link together and find problem areas.

  1. 1.Run a site crawl and open the Site map tab.
  2. 2.Drag to rotate the map and right-drag to move across it.
  3. 3.Search or filter for broken, redirecting, slow or SEO-issue pages.
  4. 4.Select a page to highlight its links and see its details.
  5. 5.Use Focus page for a closer view, then press R to reset.
4 min

Re-check URLs after a release

See what changed after a deploy or DNS change.

  1. 1.Check your important URLs before the change to record a baseline.
  2. 2.After the change, open History and load the same list.
  3. 3.Run the check again.
  4. 4.Compare the two checks in History.

Using the 3D site map

After a crawl finishes, open the Site map tab. It draws the crawled pages and the links between them in 3D, with Architecture, Radial, 3D tree and Issue cluster layouts, plus a list view and a flat 2D view.

Read the network

The starting page uses the brand color. Green pages are healthy, amber pages redirect, red pages are broken, magenta pages have no links pointing to them, violet pages have SEO issues and cyan pages responded slowly.

Move and turn

Drag to rotate and right-drag (or Shift and drag) to move. Scroll or pinch to zoom, use WASD or the arrow keys to move, Q and E to rotate, and R to reset.

Ways to add URLs

The checker picks out complete http:// and https:// addresses, keeps their query strings, and removes duplicates before checking.

One URL per line

The fastest option for a prepared list.

https://example.com/page-one
https://example.com/page-two

Mixed text

Paste copy, HTML or an email and the links in it are picked out.

Review https://example.com/report before Friday.

XML sitemap

Paste one sitemap URL to import the pages it lists, or paste its XML. Up to 5,000 URLs.

<url><loc>https://example.com/</loc></url>

CSV file

Open a CSV or text file; links are picked out of every cell, whatever the column.

url,campaign
https://example.com/sale,summer

How to read your results

FieldWhat it meansWhat to look for
StatusThe final HTTP or network outcome.4xx, 5xx, SSL, DNS, and timeout results.
Final URLThe destination after redirects complete.Unexpected domains or outdated destinations.
Redirect hopsEvery transition between source and final URL.Loops and chains longer than one or two hops.
Response timeTotal time required to resolve the request.Slow or inconsistent destinations.
CategoryA practical grouping such as Healthy or Broken.Use this first when filtering a large audit.

Status codes and what to do

19 statuses

CodeStateMeaningWhat to do
200OKHealthyThe destination responded successfully.No action needed.
204No contentHealthyThe request succeeded without a response body.Confirm an empty response is expected.
301Moved permanentlyRedirect hopA permanent redirect points to a new location.Replace the source URL with the final URL.
302FoundRedirect hopA temporary redirect points elsewhere.Review whether the redirect should be permanent.
307Temporary redirectRedirect hopRedirect preserves the original request method.Verify the temporary destination.
308Permanent redirectRedirect hopPermanent redirect preserves the request method.Update links to the final destination.
401UnauthorizedWarningThe page requires valid credentials.Check authentication or test while signed in.
403ForbiddenWarningThe server understood but refused the request.Check access rules, bot protection, or allowlists.
404Not foundBrokenNo resource exists at this address.Restore the page, redirect it, or remove the link.
410GoneBrokenThe content was intentionally removed.Remove or replace every link to this page.
429Too many requestsWarningThe destination is rate limiting checks.Wait, then check these URLs again in a shorter list.
500Internal server errorServer errorsThe destination failed while processing the request.Check destination logs and retry after a fix.
502Bad gatewayServer errorsA gateway received an invalid upstream response.Inspect the proxy, CDN, or upstream service.
503Service unavailableServer errorsThe destination is temporarily unavailable.Retry after maintenance or recovery.
504Gateway timeoutServer errorsA gateway waited too long for its upstream.Check upstream latency and timeout settings.
N/ADNS failureDNS failuresThe domain could not be resolved.Verify the hostname and DNS records.
N/ATLS or certificate errorSSL issuesTLS validation failed or the certificate expired.Renew or repair the certificate chain.
N/ATimeoutTimeoutsThe destination did not respond within the limit.Retry, then inspect origin performance.
N/ARedirect loopRedirect loops (Broken)The redirects lead back to a URL already visited.Find the rule that sends the URL back to an earlier hop and fix it.

Export, history and handoff

Export CSV and JSON

Export every result as CSV for spreadsheets or JSON for scripts. Exports include all results, not only filtered rows.

Use history

Your last 25 checks are saved in this browser. Compare two, download one as an HTML report, CSV, JSON or Markdown, or load its URLs again.

Create a handoff

When you pass results on, include the source URL, final URL, status, redirect hops and the fix you recommend.

Safe scanning and SSRF protection

Before server-side checks run, MemonaIQ validates destinations and blocks private, loopback, link-local, and internal network targets. Redirect destinations are checked again so a public URL cannot redirect into a protected network.

Troubleshooting

A working page shows 403

The destination may block automated traffic or require a login. If it’s your site, check your firewall or bot-protection rules; otherwise treat the result as what a logged-out, automated visitor sees.

Many URLs return 429

The site is rate limiting the checks. Wait a while, then check those URLs again in a shorter list.

A check stops at a redirect

The chain may be longer than your hop limit (10 at most on the free plan), loop back on itself, or lead to a private address the checker refuses. The result’s message says which.

My sitemap imported sitemap files instead of pages

That address is a sitemap index, which lists other sitemaps. Paste one of the listed sitemap URLs to check its pages. Compressed .xml.gz sitemaps aren’t read; paste the XML instead.

My CSV imports no URLs

Save it as UTF-8 and make sure each link is a complete address starting with http:// or https://.

Browser and checker results differ

Browsers can use cookies, cached redirects or signed-in sessions. Recheck in a private window, which is closer to what MemonaIQ’s server sees.

A URL shows an SSL issue

Inspect the certificate expiry, hostname coverage, intermediate chain and HTTPS configuration on the destination.

The site map is crowded

Filter or search before inspecting, zoom out, or run a smaller crawl. Large maps label the starting page, your selection and the most-linked pages first.
