Go-Hugo-LC - Link Checker

☰ Table of Content

Hugo site link checker written in Golang.

Handy for checking internal link breakage after migration.

Highlight

Check using local content directory
Does not use markdown parser
Golang standard library only

Limitation

Verify internal link only
Links need server side redirection will be marked as fail
Only detect links in markdown format []()

All 3 may improve in future.
