Catch every 404. Send visitors where they meant to go.

Relink sits at the edge of your site, catches broken links the moment someone hits them, and finds the right page using your own content. You approve each fix with one click, and it becomes a permanent redirect.

How it works

A safety net, not another report

Crawlers tell you what broke last week. Relink fixes the visit that is breaking right now, then asks you to confirm the fix.

  1. 01

    Put Relink in front of your site

    Add the Worker to your Cloudflare zone with one click, or run it on your own account. Normal requests pass straight through to your site.

    Not on Cloudflare? Next.js and WordPress integrations will call the same match API.

  2. 02

    It learns your site

    Relink reads your sitemap and internal links, then builds an index of every live page from its URL, title and headings.

    The index lives in Cloudflare Vectorize and refreshes when your site changes.

  3. 03

    Every 404 gets a second chance

    When a visitor hits a missing page, Relink finds the page they meant. Confident matches redirect; the rest get a helpful "did you mean" page.

    Each match waits in your approval queue. One click turns it into a permanent 301.

Without Relink

Visitor hits /old-pricing, sees your 404 page, leaves.

Low confidence

Did-you-mean page with the 3 best matches, still an honest 404.

High confidence

Redirect to /pricing now, permanent 301 after you approve.

The 404 safety net

The part nobody else does: fixing broken visits while they happen, at the edge.

  • Live 404 interception

    Status: MVP

    A Cloudflare Worker sees your origin's 404s and soft 404s before the visitor does.

  • Matching on your own content

    Status: MVP

    URL tokens, slug similarity and AI embeddings of your pages rank the most likely destination.

  • Confident redirects only

    Status: MVP

    Above your threshold: a temporary redirect while pending, a 301 once you approve it.

  • "Did you mean" page

    Status: MVP

    Below it: a fast, branded page with the best matches. It keeps an honest 404 status for search engines.

  • One-click approval queue

    Status: MVP

    Matches and misses grouped by path with hit counts and referrers. Approve, edit or reject.

  • Safety rails

    Status: MVP

    Same domain only, no POST or API paths, excluded patterns, rate-limited automation and instant rollback.

Link rot repair

The pages you link to disappear too. Relink finds them and proposes a fix.

  • Outbound link checks

    Status: Beta

    Scheduled checks of every external link, telling dead links apart from sites that only block bots.

  • Wayback Machine snapshots

    Status: Beta

    For a dead outbound link, Relink proposes the closest archived copy from the Internet Archive.

  • Moved-page detection

    Status: Later

    Before falling back to an archive, look for the page's new home on the same site.

Migrations

Rebuilding or moving a site is when most broken links are born.

  • Redirect map generator

    Status: Beta

    Old URLs from a crawl, sitemap or Search Console export, matched to new pages with confidence scores.

  • Deploy anywhere

    Status: Beta

    Serve the map from the Worker, or export it for Cloudflare Bulk Redirects, Vercel, Netlify, Nginx or Apache.

  • 30-day launch watch

    Status: Beta

    After cutover, the safety net catches what the map missed and reports it daily.

Monitoring and alerts

Know what broke, what was already fixed, and what needs you.

  • Free "Is your site broken?" scanner

    Status: MVP

    Enter a URL and get broken links, redirect chains, missing HTTPS and missing titles. No account needed.

  • Scheduled crawls

    Status: Beta

    Daily or weekly crawls for broken internal links and redirect chains.

  • Uptime and certificate checks

    Status: Beta

    Basic availability and SSL expiry alerts for each connected site.

  • Alerts and reports

    Status: Beta

    Email, Slack and webhooks for spikes in new 404s, plus a weekly summary you can forward.

Link management and integrations

One rules engine and one API behind every way of connecting.

  • Redirect rules

    Status: MVP

    Exact, prefix and pattern rules with import and export as CSV or _redirects files.

  • REST API and match endpoint

    Status: Beta

    Ask Relink for the best page for any missing path, from any stack.

  • Next.js, WordPress and embeds

    Status: Later

    Server-side helpers, a 404-template plugin and a script tag for any existing 404 page.

Free tool, coming with the first release

Is your site broken? Find out in a minute.

Paste a URL and the free scanner crawls up to about 200 pages for broken internal and outbound links, redirect chains, missing HTTPS and missing titles. No account needed.

Open source and self-host

Own the whole stack, or let us run it

Same code either way. Self-host it free on your own Cloudflare account, or pay for the hosted version when you would rather not.

  • AGPL-3.0 core

    Worker, matching, dashboard and API. Read it, run it, change it. SDKs and plugins under MIT.

  • Runs on your Cloudflare account

    Workers, KV, D1, Vectorize and Workers AI. Small sites should fit in Cloudflare's free allowances.

  • Your logs stay yours

    Self-hosted, no request data ever reaches us. Hosted, we store paths and referrers, never IPs.

  • The real product, not a demo

    Hosted plans add convenience: multi-site, managed crawling, alerts, seats and support.

terminal

Planned commands

# create the Worker, D1, KV and Vectorize index
$ npx getrelink init
$ npx wrangler deploy

# attach it to your site and build the first index
$ npx getrelink connect example.com
✓ route example.com/* attached
✓ sitemap read, pages queued for indexing

The CLI does not exist yet. This is the setup we are designing toward.

Pricing

Simple plans, metered on 404s you actually catch

Normal traffic through the Worker is never metered. If you hit a limit, existing redirects keep working; we just pause new automatic matches until next month.

Planned pricing. Nothing is billable today. Self-host ships first and stays free; the hosted beta will be free too.

FAQ

Straight answers

Including the ones about what does not exist yet.

Can I use Relink today?

Not yet. Relink is being built from scratch and this page describes what we are building. Every feature is labelled with the release it is planned for. Join the waitlist on n8builds.dev to hear when the first version is ready.

What ships first: self-host or hosted?

Self-host. The first public release is the open-source edition you run on your own Cloudflare account. The hosted beta follows once the self-host release has proven the matching on real sites.

Will automatic redirects hurt my SEO?

They are designed not to. Relink only redirects to the closest equivalent page on your own site, uses a temporary redirect until you approve a match, and shows low-confidence visitors a did-you-mean page that keeps a real 404 status. It never redirects to another domain or for advertising.

Does my site need to be on Cloudflare?

For the edge Worker, yes: your domain needs to be proxied through Cloudflare (the free plan works). For other hosts we plan Next.js and WordPress integrations and an embed script that use the same match API.

How is this different from Google Search Console or Rank Math?

Search Console reports the 404s Googlebot found, days later. Rank Math logs 404s on WordPress and waits for you to write each redirect. Relink works on any site behind Cloudflare, catches real visitors as it happens, suggests the right page and lets you approve it in one click.

What does open source mean here?

The core (Worker, matching, dashboard and API) will be published under AGPL-3.0 so you can read, run and modify it. Client libraries and plugins will be MIT. The hosted service runs the same code and charges for convenience, scale and support.

What data does Relink collect from my visitors?

For each caught 404: the requested path, referrer, a browser-or-bot classification and country. No cookies, and IP addresses are not stored. Self-hosting keeps everything in your own Cloudflare account.

Is the pricing final?

No. The tiers on this page are our current plan and may change before launch. Nothing is billable today, and the hosted beta will be free.

Do you make money from my 404 traffic?

No, never. Relink grew out of an earlier project called deadlink, which explored monetizing dead links. We dropped that idea completely: it is bad for visitors and risky for your rankings. You pay for the product, or self-host it for free.

Early access

Be first to put a safety net under your links

The self-host release comes first: one site on your own Cloudflare account with the edge Worker, matching, the did-you-mean page, the approval queue and the free scanner. The hosted beta follows, free while it lasts.
