Hello,

I want to report a missing resource on the web page:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/guix-further-reduces-bootstrap-seed-to-25/ 


The link [full graph] redirects to a 404:
https://guix.gnu.org/en/static/blog/img/gcc-core-mesboot0-graph.svg

Is there something that scans the website for broken links? Might be
worth setting up if not.

You made me check for other broken links using wget on a local build
of the website.  Indeed there were some more broken links.  Thanks!

However I am too lazy to try to set up automatic and continuous broken
link checking.  I think me and others should just be more careful when
moving things around.

Regards,
Florian

I couldn't believe this is not a stardard tool for web site maintainers,
so i put
    web broken link lister
to duckduckgo and got lots of hits. Well,  tl;dr -- having other concerns
at the moment, but at least I felt my hunch validated. I bet it gets
re-invented a lot :-p
