# Links checker

Since version 1.8.8.4, you can (manually) check whether a link is alive. To do this, click the small magnifier icon ![](https://2324583860-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlDtbPjZhax0iCyOmO06r%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-fe71f815b2a3e1b656736cd71780eaa049168ae0%2Fgraphics223.png?alt=media) on the right side of the link as it is listed in the Links page. After a few seconds (or less), an icon appears. A green tick ![](https://2324583860-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlDtbPjZhax0iCyOmO06r%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-92918210e13ff17b456d42fa1f6c2cbe20ffb2d2%2Fgraphics41.png?alt=media) means the link is valid. A red sign ![](https://2324583860-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlDtbPjZhax0iCyOmO06r%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2efb68e1e8f0abf25385c7fdf0142b8b17ff5bee%2Fgraphics225.gif?alt=media) means the link is broken.

> **Note**: the links checker effectively tries to connect to the given link **from the server.** As such, a link that works for you might not work for the server, and vice-versa. This will require the server to be equipped with the CURL library. Check with your admin if this is the case.
