Check the links on your website
Club Routes can check every link on your website before you publish, so visitors don't land on a missing page. You need the Owner, Editor or Website editor role.
Check every link
- Open Website in the side menu.
- Choose More, then Check links. It takes a few seconds.
- Read the list. Each link says where it is (such as a page, a news post, the menu or Settings), its words, its address and what's wrong.
- Fix each one where it's listed, then check again.
It checks your draft pages, news posts, menu, design and settings, including links to other websites and your videos. Worth a look lists links it couldn't be sure about, such as a site that wouldn't let it check or took too long to answer. Open those yourself to make sure they work.
When you publish
When you choose Publish changes, Club Routes quickly checks links to pages on your own website. If any go to a page that isn't there, it lists them. Choose Fix them first to go back, or Publish anyway.
Good to know
- Type addresses the way you'd say them: oxtedrunners.org.uk/join works, and so does just join for a page on your website. Under each address box it says where the link will go.
- A link starting http:// is changed to https:// for you.
- A menu item for a deleted page is left out of the menu by itself.
