Before You Run It
The workbook currently contains many prefilled Shopify CDN links and prior results. Remove them before customer distribution. The macro sends synchronous GET requests, saves after every URL and can be slow on large lists. Some websites block automated requests, and redirect responses may be automatically followed. It is not a full site crawler or continuous monitor.
Microsoft may block downloaded VBA macros by default. Review the code and follow your organization’s security policy; never enable macros from an untrusted source.
Where It Helps
Ideal for checking a prepared list of image or product links before bulk catalog publication.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it crawl the entire website?
No. It checks only the exact URLs you paste in column A.
What happens to 404 errors?
The macro writes a nonworking status with the reported HTTP code where available.
Does it run on Excel for the web?
No. It requires desktop Excel capable of running VBA.
