What is broken tool detection?

Cludo will automatically keep track of various features and their associated links over time. If a link suddenly stops working, it is possible to see this information in MyCludo. Alternatively, a user can choose to be notified by email with a report of broken tools.

Broken link detection works for the following tools:

• Banners – Cludo runs a daily check against the links and will report them as broken if they respond with 40X or 30X
• Page Rankings – A Page Ranking will appear as broken if one or more of the ranked pages are no longer present in the index
• Quicklinks – Cludo runs a daily check against the links and will report them as broken if they respond with 40X or 30X

In MyCludo, a red broken link icon will be shown next to items with a broken link. Hovering over the icon will provide further information.
