A fork of https://github.com/linkchecker/linkchecker that includes:

• All the AnchorCheck fixes and improvements
  • Just add [AnchorCheck] to your linkchecker.rc to get high-performance anchor checking.
  • You might want to tune anchorcachesize (in the [checking] section) if you see high memory use.
• The HTTP performance fix
  • The maxrequestspersecond setting is now actually obeyed. If you are testing against an internal (development) web server, I suggest setting it to 1000 to get nearly the performance of checking HTML files on disk. If you are testing against public / production web servers, 10 might still be a polite value.
• A feature to report all references to a URL (i.e. to report ALL broken links, not just the first one encountered for each target)
  • linkchecker.rc setting: reportallreferences in the [output] section.
  • Command line argument: --allrefs.
• A fix for working with a newer (4.10+) install of BeautifulSoup
• A warning when using AnchorCheck with links that point to a directory and have an anchor, indicating that those anchors won't be checked.

To install

1. Clone this repository.

2. cd path/to/this/repo

3. pip3 install -e .

Now you should be able to run linkchecker (and do everything else, as usual) per the main-repo docs, plus the notes above.
