Everything you need to fight link rot
RotSweep is deliberately small: it watches URLs, notices what broke or changed, and tells the right person. These are the features that make that work at fifty links or five thousand.
Built for lists that keep growing
Sitemap scanning
Point it at your sitemap and RotSweep finds every outbound link across your whole site, flagging the ones it already monitors. From Deep Sweep up.
Page scanner, paste & CSV
Add links however they arrive: paste a list, import a CSV, or point RotSweep at one of your pages and let it pull out every outbound link.
Projects, not silos
Group links however you actually think — “Affiliate”, “Docs”, “Client X”. Any project holds links from any number of domains, and tags give you a second axis.
Accept as baseline
When a site legitimately moves a page, one click makes the new destination the truth. Alerts stay meaningful instead of turning into noise.
Retry before alerting
A blip isn’t an incident. We re-check before flagging anything, so you’re not woken by someone’s flaky CDN.
Per-project schedules
Set sweep frequency per project up to your plan’s maximum — keep the blog on daily and run the links that make money more often.
Alerts where they’re useful
Each project has its own recipients, so the shop team gets vendor alerts and the editor gets blog outbound. One roll-up after each sweep, and nothing at all when nothing changed.
Slack & webhooks — coming soon
Push sweeps into a channel, or take the raw JSON and wire it into whatever you already use. Not available yet; email is the only delivery channel today.
European by default
Built and hosted in the EU by an EU company. GDPR-native, VAT-compliant invoices, no data leaving the continent.
If you link to something you don’t control, it will rot
RotSweep doesn’t care what the links are for. It cares that they still resolve to what you meant.
Product & supplier links
Retailers linking out to manufacturer or supplier pages. Catalogues reorganise constantly and nobody sends you a changelog.
Affiliate & partner links
Commission dies silently when a merchant retires a landing page. A dead affiliate link earns nothing and looks careless.
SEO & content
Broken outbound links, redirect chains and orphaned internal links all drag on a site. Find them before a crawler makes it your problem.
Documentation
Every external reference in your docs is a promise you can’t keep alone. APIs move, guides get rewritten, examples 404.
Resource pages & directories
Curated lists, tool directories and link roundups decay from the day they’re published. The bigger the list, the worse it gets.
Research, press & citations
Cited sources, datasets and press coverage disappear or get edited. Know when the thing you referenced no longer says it.
Which plan has what?
Broken-link detection, redirect drift and roles & permissions are on every plan. Content drift and the sitemap scanner come with Deep Sweep and up — and content drift is a €6 add-on on Daily Sweep, so the capability is never locked behind a big jump.
Try every feature for fourteen days
A Deep Sweep trial includes content drift and the sitemap scanner. Daily Sweep trials the entry plan. A card is required either way.
