Linkchecker is not accessible in AEM as a Cloud Service

[udhayaprakash]

We are trying to access the legacy Link Checker console at:

/etc/linkchecker.html

But in AEM as a Cloud Service, this URL throws the error:

Resource at '/etc/linkchecker.html' not found: No resource found

It seems that the old Classic UI console for managing broken links has been removed in AEMaaCS. We still need a way to monitor and report invalid/broken links within our site.
can you please suggest how can we monitor the report .

hi @udhayaprakash, 

As shown in my screenshot, I can still access the Link Checker console at /etc/linkchecker.html. I recommend contacting Adobe to investigate this issue and determine an appropriate solution.

Hi @udhayaprakash ,

In AEM as a Cloud Service, the old Link Checker console (/etc/linkchecker.html) is no longer available. To monitor broken links, you should use alternative approaches like the Sites Console “References” feature, custom reports/queries on cq:LinkChecker properties, or external link validation tools (e.g., Adobe’s Dispatcher/CDN logs, crawler-based link checkers). For ongoing governance, many teams implement custom reporting workflows or use ACS AEM Commons link checker utilities to track and fix broken links. This replaces the legacy console while keeping links healthy.
