Link Luminary

About

Link Luminary is a Chrome extension designed to highlight and evaluate links on any webpage you visit. 

Once activated, the extension scans all the hyperlinks on the current page and categorizes them based on their status;

Links that need immediate attention:
- Broken Links (4XX, 5XX errors): Links that lead to pages that can't be found or are currently unavailable.
- Mixed Content Links: Links that may cause issues due to being served over HTTP on an HTTPS page, potentially resulting in blocked content by the browser.
- Invalid Social Media Profiles: Links that point to empty or incorrect social media profiles.
- Invalid Link URLs: Links that are placeholders or incorrect, often leading to pages like "/#" or "#!".

Links that are more so informational:
- Redirected Links (3XX): Links that redirect you to another URL, which can be important for SEO and user experience.
- Security Policy Links: Links that adhere to security policies like Content Security Policy (CSP) or X-Frame-Options, indicating a site's security measures.

The extension provides a user-friendly popup with a legend explaining each category of links, highlighting them directly on the page. The highlights’ opacity can be adjusted via a slider to fit the user's preference, allowing for a customized and efficient review process.

Link Luminary is perfect for checking new or existing websites. It is particularly useful for website administrators, content creators, marketing managers, and developers who need to ensure that all the links on a webpage are functioning correctly and securely before launching new sites. It's also effective at identifying problematic links or potential issues on live sites.
