How to create a broken link checker for Hugo and blogdown websites.

Thanks!

This works like a charm for .com domains, but I couldn't make it work for a .be domain:

Any idea what is the issue?

Moreover, out of curiosity, why do you use absolute URLs instead of relative URLs for internal links? I thought that relative URLs were the best practice for internal links.

Thanks in advance!

@AntoineSoetewey It looks like https://easystat.be/tags/ is in the sitemap but it's a 404 page. Your theme needs to have a taxonomy template to render this page. See https://gohugo.io/templates/taxonomy-templates/.

There are probably many good discussions around this topic like https://bookdown.org/yihui/blogdown/html.html. I personally prefer absolute links (with protocol + host domain names) because there is less ambiguity - you don't need more context to know exactly where the links point to. It also treats internal links the same way as the external links. To me, this is ok unless you move things frequently or the content needs to live at multiple endpoints.
