| ## CLI link checker | ||
|
|
||
| You can now check for broken links on your live documentation site directly from the Fern CLI with `fern docs link check`. The command scrapes every page on your published site, checks all internal and external links, and reports broken (404) and blocked (403) URLs along with the source pages where they appear. |
