What we check
Three agents, one digest
Stale year references
Posts that say “in 2023” when it’s 2026, or “next year” pinned to a date that’s now in the past. We don’t flag every date — only the ones an LLM judge agrees have actually aged badly.
Broken external links
Every outbound link is checked for 404s, 410s, redirects to parked domains, and other rot. Results are cached across customers so we don’t re-hit the same URL needlessly.
Missing internal links
When a new post mentions a topic you’ve already covered, we suggest an internal link. Starter and above also get a structural pass for pillar / spoke / orphan gaps.
How it works
Set up in under a minute
step 1
Paste your domain
We auto-detect your sitemap, parse it, and let you tick which path patterns to monitor (usually /blog/* or /posts/*).
step 2
We scan on a schedule
Every plan scans monthly. Each scan is polite — at most one request per second, and we honour robots.txt.
step 3
You get one email
Monthly digest with grouped issues, severity, and one-click dismiss. No noise, no daily pings, no auto-edits to your content.
Pricing
One price a year
One payment a year. We scan your blog every month and email you when something needs fixing. The only thing that changes between tiers is how many pages you have — same scans, same checks, same everything.

Monthly scans. Every post, checked 12 times a year. You don’t schedule anything.
Stale date detection. Finds the “2024 Guide” titles and “updated for 2023” lines that quietly aged out.
Aged statistics. Flags the years-old figures readers no longer trust.
Broken link detection. Internal and external — caught before your readers find them.
A plain-English email. When something’s worth fixing, we tell you what and where.
Full issue dashboard. Everything in one place when you want to work through it.
Scan one site free, no card required — you’ll see exactly what we’d find before you pay a cent. Annual billing only; we’ll email you before it renews, never silently.
FAQ
Common questions
Will RefreshenBot slow down my site?
No. We rate-limit at one request per second per domain and honour Crawl-delay in your robots.txt. A 100-post scan typically finishes in under three minutes.
Do I need to install anything?
No. We work from your public sitemap. No JavaScript snippet, no DNS change, no CMS plugin.
How do I block you?
Add ‘User-agent: RefreshenBot’ + ‘Disallow: /’ to your robots.txt. We honour it on the next scan and surface a warning to the account that requested it. See /bot for full details.
Do you scan unpublished content?
No. We only fetch URLs in the sitemap you provide and only follow paths your robots.txt permits. Drafts behind auth aren’t reachable to us.
Will you auto-edit my content?
Never. Refreshen reports — it doesn’t rewrite. You decide which issues to act on.
