Check a URL’s Validity
Whether you want to see if a shortened link or an actual website URL is valid without going to the URL itself, you can use the free Chrome browser extension, Verify Link Check. Once installed, you will be able to open the extensions window, insert a URL that you would like to check and click the Verify button. We will check the URL to make sure it is valid or not and display the results. This Chrome browser extension is free and easy to use.
