What to do with a broken link
A broken-link flag is a hint, not a verdict — the page may be temporarily down or simply moved. You have several options:- Do nothing. If you have a web archive copy, the content is safe even if the original page is gone.
- Fix the URL. If the page moved to a new address, update the URL in the bookmark editor. The broken flag clears automatically within a few hours.
- Delete. If the bookmark is no longer relevant, select it and press Delete.
Reducing false positives
Some pages appear broken even though they work fine — for example, local network resources, sites behind aggressive firewalls, or slow servers. You can adjust how strictly Raindrop.io checks links in Settings → App under the Broken links dropdown.
To turn off checking entirely, set the mode to Off.
