Catch the broken link before your subscribers do.
An email can look flawless while a button points at a 404. Proofel checks every link against its live destination and flags the broken ones, so wrong URLs get caught in review, not after you hit send.
14-day all-access trial, no card. Included in Pro and Team.
- checked against its live destination, screenshot and status, not just the anchor text
- Every link
- the whole email verified at once, instead of opening every link in its own tab
- One pass
- wrong URLs, dead links and stale UTMs surface before the send, not after your subscribers click
- Caught in review
See where every link really goes
Your reviewers read the copy and eyeball the design — but nobody opens every link to check it lands. The visualizer does, right inside the review.
Links are the one thing a visual proof can’t see.
Your reviewers read the copy and eyeball the design, but nobody opens twelve links to check each one lands. The visualizer draws every link on the email, connects it to a card by a line, and shows where it truly goes: final URL, page title, HTTP status, live screenshot. A broken destination turns red so it is impossible to miss.
- Split-pane: your email on the left, a card per destination on the right
- Connection lines tie each numbered badge to its card
- Resolves ESP tracking wrappers to the page they actually open
- Broken links and error statuses flagged in red, right on the card
Comment on the link, not about the link.
Wrong landing page? Stale UTM? Dead CTA? Drop the note directly on that link’s card. It lands in the same review thread as every other comment, attributed, assignable and resolvable, right next to the screenshot that proves the problem.
- Per-link comments in your normal review flow
- Reviewers verify destinations without leaving the page
- Private and team-only notes, the same as anywhere else

Wrapped links, unwrapped. Every UTM, readable.
Tracking wrappers hide where a click really goes, and a stale campaign tag is invisible in a normal proof. The visualizer resolves the wrapper to the real destination and lets you expand any link to read its full query string, one key and value per row.
- Resolves ESP tracking wrappers to the real final URL
- Expandable UTM and query-parameter breakdown per link
- HTTP status on every card, so 404s surface instantly
Eight things a visual proof can’t tell you
Every link, resolved and screenshotted, without leaving the review.
Split-pane view
Your email renders on the left with every link numbered in place. Each destination gets its own card on the right — nothing to scroll away from.
Connection lines
A drawn line runs from each numbered badge to its card, so you always know exactly which button goes where.
Redirect resolution
Follows ESP tracking wrappers and redirect chains, then shows the final URL the click actually opens, so a wrapped link is checked against where it really lands.
UTM inspection
Expand any link to read its query string, one key and value per row, so a stale campaign tag never slips through.
Duplicate merging
The same destination used in three places is merged into one card with an occurrence count, not three cards to check.
Status you can trust
Each card is color-coded by HTTP status: green for valid, red for broken, so a 404 is impossible to miss.
Page titles captured
The real page title of each destination is pulled in, so you can confirm a link points where its label promises.
Cached per version
Results are stored against the version, so reopening the visualizer is instant and reviewers all see the same checks.
Three steps, zero tab-switching
- 1
Open your email in Proofel
Forward it in or upload it. The Link Visualizer works on any version, live or draft.
- 2
Every link gets a badge
Numbered markers appear on the email itself, one per unique destination, wired to its card by a connection line.
- 3
Every destination gets checked
Live screenshot, page title, final URL and HTTP status for each link. A broken one turns red so it cannot be missed.
The Link Visualizer caught a promo link pointing at last season’s landing page, the night before a 400k send. It has paid for itself several times over.
Questions, answered
- How do I check all the links in an email before sending?
- Open the email in Proofel and hit Links. The Link Visualizer extracts every hyperlink, numbers it on the design, follows redirects (including ESP tracking wrappers), and captures a live screenshot plus HTTP status for each destination — so you verify every link visually in one pass instead of clicking them one by one.
- Does it work with tracking links like Klaviyo or Mailchimp wrappers?
- Yes. The visualizer follows the redirect chain to the final destination and shows you the real URL each wrapped link opens, along with a live screenshot of that page, so tracking links are checked against where they actually land.
- Can I check the UTM parameters on each link?
- Yes. Every card can expand to show that link’s full query string — one row per key and value — so you can spot a stale utm_campaign or a missing utm_source before the send goes out.
- What if the same link appears more than once?
- Identical destinations are merged into a single card with an occurrence count, so you review each unique URL once and still see how many times it’s used across the email.
- Can reviewers see the link checks too?
- Yes. Anyone on a share or review link can open the Link Visualizer (when the canvas owner is on a paid plan, Pro or Team) and comment directly on a specific link’s card. The checks and the conversation stay on the same page, with no separate report or login required.
- Which plan includes the Link Visualizer?
- The Link Visualizer is included on Pro and Team. Every plan, including Free, lets you collect comments and approvals; upgrading to Pro unlocks the link checks, the dark-mode simulator, cinematic compare and the rest of the pre-send toolkit. See the plans page for the full breakdown.
