## Description

Broken Link Checker is a powerful SEO Chrome extension designed to identify broken (404) and redirected (301, 307, 308) links across all frames of a webpage, including top and sub-frames. It provides a detailed status code report for every link, categorizing broken links separately for quick identification. The tool supports validating links inside about:blank frames and notifies users about skipped links such as mailto or non-HTTP URLs.

Features include:
- Deep search within the same domain for comprehensive link analysis.
- Keyword-based filtering to ignore URLs and expedite scanning.
- Extraction of embedded text links not marked as hyperlinks.
- Filtering options for displaying or hiding links based on HTTP status codes (2XX, 3XX, 4XX, 5XX).

The extension also boosts validation speed by processing up to five links simultaneously, and offers flexible UI options including popup windows or embedded frames for your convenience. Enhance your website’s SEO health and user navigation easily with this essential tool.
