Checklinks is a repository that utilizes Playwright Test to dynamically check links on any website. By providing the page URL and the web element with an anchor attribute, you can easily verify the validity of links present on the page.
The main purpose of this repository is to automate the link checking process, making it efficient and reliable, while saving time and effort in manual link verification.
Before running the link checks, ensure you have the following installed on your machine:
- Clone this repository to your local machine.

$env:WebElement = '#main a';Run the following command to start the link checking process:
npx playwright testPlaywright Test will open the specified website in a browser, find the specified web element, and check all anchor elements within that web element for valid links.
The test execution will generate a report with the results of the link checks. Any broken or invalid links will be reported, allowing you to identify and fix any issues on the website.
