Quick Start
Sign up for Brokenly and get your first affiliate link scan running in under 5 minutes.
Get Brokenly up and running in a few steps.
Step 1: Create an Account
Sign up at brokenly.io. Your 14-day trial starts immediately — no credit card required.
Step 2: Add Your First Site
After signing in, open the Sites page and click Add Site. Enter:
- Site Name — a friendly label (e.g. "My Niche Blog")
- Sitemap URL — the full URL to your XML sitemap (e.g.
https://yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml)
Brokenly fetches your sitemap and queues the first crawl automatically.
Step 3: Watch the Crawl Run
Open the site's detail page to watch progress live — pages crawled, links found, and links checked update as the crawl runs. Most sites finish within a few minutes.
Step 4: Review Your Results
When the crawl completes, the Affiliate Links table on the site dashboard lists every affiliate link Brokenly found, with a coloured badge for its status. Use the filter pills above the table to jump to Broken, Blocked, Redirect Issues, or Out of Stock links.
If alerts are enabled and the crawl turned up any new problem links, you'll also get a summary email.
