Content marketing isn’t just about posting the right content at the right time; it’s also about the user experience. Broken links will harm user engagement and damage your credibility, which makes this extension a valuable addition to any content marketer’s toolkit.

Check My Links analyzes the content of any web page and shows you the status of every link, highlighting the broken ones in red. As a result, you can fix any broken links before publishing the content online.

Available on Chrome.

Note Anywhere

Note Anywhere allows you to leave a note anywhere on a web page using a drag-and-drop tool. When you come back to the same page later, the note will appear exactly where you left it. You can customize the color of your notes and leave multiple notes on any page. You can even close your browser and your notes will load automatically whenever you visit the same page again.

It speeds up the whole process of searching, making it much easier to track down the specific information you’re after.
