Hello All,

 

Probably bringing back one of the previously asked questions about finding and fixing broken links in AEM. There are some discussions and solutions mentioned eg using groovy script (can't use this currently) and link checker (https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/broken-link-scan/qaq-p/220... and some discussions about disabling link checker because of possible performance issues.

 

I tried using the linkchecker tool in AEM 6.5 and it was showing a couple external links that I authored incorrectly but not the internal link that was authored incorrectly. Still with the incorrect external links we can't right away find where it has been used but we can do  query I suppose (involving devs)

 

https://www.tadigital.com/insights/perspectives/identify-and-fix-broken-links-aem-link-checker and https://www.tadigital.com/exchange/link-checker/ looks very promising but I am not sure how it is implemented.

 

Please suggest for following thoughts or any other ideas.

- Periodically, in author go through all nodes (their properties) and check for the authored links and hrefs. Get the paths with broken links or a map of broken link --> affected paths and save it. Add to this a component may be where we can input path/path tree , broken link, updated link

- Keep link checker on in author and utilize etc/linkchecker tool to get the broken links and query the broken links. For broken internal links think of something else

 

Thanks
