Link in bio audit
Paste the link from your bio. We read the page once, like a visitor would, and tell you what is missing, what is broken and what is fine.
What the audit checks
The audit reads your public page with the same reader makerhandle uses to import a page, and checks:
- Whose address it is. A page on linktr.ee, beacons.ai or any other tool's domain breaks if that tool closes or you leave it. Bento, Linkpop and Koji all closed, and their users' bio links went with them; see Bento alternatives for what that looked like.
- Links to services that shut down. Bento, Read.cv, Polywork, Linkpop and Koji pages no longer show what they used to.
- How many links. A short list gets scanned; a long one gets skipped on a phone.
- Plain http links, which browsers mark as not secure.
- A name, a bio, a photo and your social profiles, the four things that tell a visitor they are in the right place.
- A way to stay in touch: an email, newsletter, booking or contact link.
- Descriptions on projects, when the page lists them.
You get a score out of 100, with the things to fix first at the top.
What it cannot see
It reads the page as served, so a page that draws its links with a script we do not run may show fewer links than it has, and a site that blocks automated visits cannot be read at all. It does not click your links to see whether each one still works, and it cannot judge your copy or design. Your page's own click stats answer the most useful question, which link people actually use; if your tool does not show them, link in bio analytics does, without cookies.
Nothing is stored: the page is read once to make the report and forgotten. Audits are limited to a few an hour from one address.
Fixing what it finds
Most fixes take a minute in whatever tool you use: replace dead links, add a line of bio, put the link that matters this month first, and add a newsletter or contact link. Tag the links you post with the UTM builder so you can see which bio sends visitors.
The domain warning is the one most tools cannot fix: Linktree, for one, does not support custom domains. makerhandle Pro puts your page on your own domain for $20 a year, and importing your current page takes one step. Thinking of moving? Read how to move from Linktree without losing clicks first.
Questions
Which pages can it read?
Linktree, Beacons, bio.link, Lnk.Bio, Taplink, Stan, Carrd, Indie Page, Peerlist, makerhandle and most personal sites. Pages behind a login or a bot wall cannot be read.
Does it check whether every link still works?
No. It flags links to services that have shut down and links without https, but it does not visit each link.
Do you save my page or my results?
No. The page is read once to make the report and nothing is kept.
Why does it warn about my page being on Linktree's address?
Because the link in every bio and QR code you have printed depends on that company. Tools close and change plans; a domain you own can point at any tool you choose later.
Is it free?
Yes, with no account. It is limited to a few audits an hour from one address.
