What LinkGuard helps you do

For merchants changing product handles, retiring products, or maintaining older store content. Build a repair list with context before changing URLs.

See broken internal resource references

Scan supported Shopify content and navigation for internal destinations that refer to missing, archived, or unpublished resources. Keep the affected source alongside the finding.

Review a finding in context

Inspect the source and destination before deciding how to repair a link. Recognized Shopify paths and existing redirects are considered during resource resolution.

Choose the redirect yourself

Open a finding and confirm the intended source and destination when creating a redirect. A scan does not automatically create redirects across your store.

From the first check to the next step

A workflow inside Shopify admin, with decisions you can review.

  1. Run an internal-link scan

    Check supported products, pages, posts, and menus. Open the result list and choose a finding to investigate.

  2. Check the source and intended destination

    Verify the product or page's current availability and decide whether to update the source, restore the resource, or create a relevant redirect.

  3. Review the repair and scan again

    Confirm a chosen redirect when appropriate, test the customer path, and run another scan. A still-broken link can return in a later scan even if previously dismissed.

Know the scope before you start

Choose the app for what it does today.

  • LinkGuard checks internal Shopify resource references through Shopify data. It is not a full HTTP crawl of your storefront, a theme scanner, or an arbitrary external-site checker.
  • A resource finding is not a measured HTTP status for every URL. Test ambiguous destinations in the storefront before changing a working path.
  • Scans run on demand with API and pagination limits. Scheduled scans, continuous monitoring, and automatic repairs are not advertised as available.
  • Shopify has redirect restrictions. Existing valid pages and reserved paths cannot always be redirected; verify a proposed repair before relying on it.

Questions before you install

Capabilities, changes to your store, and billing.

Does LinkGuard check external websites?

No. Its scan is for supported internal Shopify resource links. Use a separate HTTP checker when you need to validate arbitrary external destinations or rendered theme links.

Will the scan change my store?

A scan produces findings. You review a finding and confirm a redirect if that is the repair you want.

Why can a working URL need another look?

Shopify has built-in paths, collection-scoped product URLs, storefront publication rules, and existing redirects. LinkGuard resolves supported cases, but you should verify the actual storefront path before treating a finding as a customer-facing failure.

Does dismissing a finding fix the link?

No. Dismissal applies to that scan. If the source still points to a broken resource, a later scan may report it again.
