Finding a Link on Your Page

How to locate a specific affiliate link on your page using browser DevTools or the built-in search.

When Brokenly flags a broken or redirected link, you need to find it in your page source or CMS to replace it. Here are the fastest ways to do that.

Using Browser DevTools (Inspect)

  1. Open the page on your site in your browser.
  2. Right-click anywhere on the page and choose Inspect (or press F12).
  3. In the DevTools panel, open the Elements tab.
  4. Press Ctrl+F (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+F (Mac) to open the in-panel search.
  5. Paste the affiliate link URL — for example hostingco.com/ref?id=tk99.
  6. DevTools will highlight every element that contains that URL, jumping you straight to the <a> tag in the HTML.

Every link in your Brokenly dashboard is now clickable:

  • Page column — click the page path (e.g. /top-hosting-picks) to open that page on your site in a new tab.
  • Affiliate Link column — click the affiliate URL to open the destination in a new tab and verify whether it is actually broken.

This lets you quickly cross-check the live destination before updating your content.
