This repository provides a tool to check the HTTP status code of every link on a given website.

This package can be installed via Composer:

composer global require spatie/http-status-check

This tool will scan all links on a given website:

http-status-check scan https://example.com

It outputs a line per link found:

When the crawling process is finished a summary will be shown.

By default the crawler uses 10 concurrent connections to speed up the crawling process. You can change that number by passing a different value to the --concurrency option:

http-status-check scan https://example.com --concurrency=20

You can also write all urls that gave a non-2xx or non-3xx response to a file:

http-status-check scan https://example.com --output=log.txt

When the crawler finds a link to an external website it will by default crawl that link as well. If you don't want the crawler to crawl such external urls use the --dont-crawl-external-links option:

http-status-check scan https://example.com --dont-crawl-external-links

By default, requests timeout after 10 seconds. You can change this by passing the number of seconds to the --timeout option:

http-status-check scan https://example.com --timeout=30

By default, the crawler will respect robots data. You can ignore them though with the --ignore-robots option:

http-status-check scan https://example.com --ignore-robots

To run the tests, first make sure you have Node.js installed. Then start the included node based server in a separate terminal window:

cd tests/server
./start_server.sh

With the server running, you can start testing:

vendor/bin/phpunit
