In simple English
This tool checks who is linking to your website. It verifies if those links are still active and whether they pass search engine value. You run it on your own server instead of paying a monthly subscription fee. It stores your data in a local database and sends alerts to Slack or email. You need some technical knowledge to set up a server and background workers.
