Nice tool, but I was looking for something more complex that scan the whole website e.g. wizardstool.com and etc.

good extension, its tool very helpful

Does not handle URLs ending with a / properly, that normally map to /index.html. 503 status shown for external links, even when the 5xx filter is disabled. Duplicate broken links can fill up the screen, making it hard to find useful information. Does not handle links to downloadable files, such as zips. Does not recognize mailto: links properly.
