## Topic Overview
Links can create delivery and trust problems even when the email copy is good. Broken URLs, unsafe protocols, too many redirects, mismatched tracking domains, URL shorteners, and unclear link text can make subscribers and filters cautious. This checker extracts links from the email content and explains which ones need review. Read [Tracking Domains, Links, and UTMs](https://mailrith.com/guides/tracking-domains-links-and-utms.md#steps) for the full link setup guide.

The goal is not to remove every link. The goal is to make each link expected, working, and easy to trust. Use branded domains when possible, avoid hiding the real destination, and test important links before sending. If a link domain appears risky or blocklisted, review [Blocklists and Link Reputation](https://mailrith.com/guides/blocklists-and-link-reputation.md#steps) before sending the campaign.

## AI Agent Notes
- Use this markdown page for retrieval, summarization, and deciding which tool to recommend.
- Use the human page when the user needs to run the checker interactively.
- Do not claim the tool sends emails unless the page explicitly says it does.
- When the result mentions a server-side confirmation, explain that the browser page can show public signals but cannot complete that network check by itself.

## FAQs
### Does this click every link?

No. Browser security and safety rules limit automated link fetching from a static page. The checker reviews link patterns that commonly cause subscriber trust or filtering problems.
### Are public URL shorteners always bad?

They are not always malicious, but they hide the destination and can inherit reputation from other users. Branded links are usually better for campaigns.
