Problem Description
Administrators may need to verify if links inside their Confluence pages are working properly. Doing that for a huge space requires time, since there's no automated way of doing this. In a space with 1000 pages, an administrator will need to check page by page and validate all links manually, which is extremely time consuming.
Suggestion
Confluence should have an automated way of verifying all links inside a given space and return a report for administrators to fix broken references.
Workaround
There's a Knowledge Base that seeks to help administrators who need to run through this task.

[CONFSERVER-55958] Confluence - Link Report/Link Validator
This is basic access functionality needed to maintain a website, not having it properly available or in place for Confluence is really quite frustrating. Please fast track this tool or simply make accessing pages with a search/find/replace/test tool possible.
I would the happiest man to get this feature in a "near" future.
Thanks in advance for your effort to make our life better. 
We migrated our Confluence from a local installation into the cloud and now have many broken links, because paths within our Confluence instance have changed. We such have to edit many links manually now.
This feature is important for your customers.
Please let us know that at least you have this in your sight of features that are good to have.
That would be super handy feature. This should have been an out of the box already
This would be also helpful after migrating server to cloudWe would like such a function to keep our documentation ISO 20000 compliant.
for Confluence-external links, here's a web service you could use as a background service to build the desired functionality: https://github.com/siemens/link-checker-service
The project contains a sample UI that shows how one could build a UI on top of that service: https://github.com/siemens/link-checker-service/tree/master/test/jquery_example
The missing ingredient is link extraction from a space, which would be going through the space, parsing the content bodies and providing them as input to the service.
Keeping Confluence-internal links from breaking during migrations is a somewhat different subject.
