It can validate internal anchor links, external URLs, or both, and optionally fail your build if broken links are found. You configure it in mkdocs.yml with options to ignore specific URLs or pages, retry failed requests, and control concurrency via worker threads.\n\nThe plugin uses requests to fetch remote content and beautifulsoup4 to parse HTML and extract links. It supports wildcard patterns for excluding URLs and pages, environment variable configuration for toggling during local development, and detailed error reporting. Since MkDocs 1.6+ added native anchor validation, this plugin is most useful if you need external URL checking or more granular control over link validation behavior.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need external URL validation in MkDocs or want build-time link checking with fine-grained control. The plugin is actively maintained, has no vulnerabilities, and installs with low friction. However, if you only need anchor validation and are on MkDocs 1.6+, consider using MkDocs' native validation instead. Useful for documentation quality gates in CI/CD pipelines."},"id":"mkdocs-htmlproofer-plugin","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mkdocs-htmlproofer-plugin","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mkdocs-htmlproofer-plugin.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mkdocs-htmlproofer-plugin/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mkdocs-htmlproofer-plugin","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A MkDocs plugin that validates URL in rendered HTML files"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":96906,"position":13186,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.5.0"}
