Product directory and category browsing
Use this product link verification guide to browse litbuy product link checks without confusing directory placement with endorsement. Narrow the records, then verify the destination and product context independently.
Source Link Verification
A product directory remains useful only when its destinations can be checked. Confirm that a link still resolves to the intended item, source and variant, and record when that check occurred.
Revisit the external page for current price, availability, seller details and terms. A card in this directory provides a path; it does not control the destination.
Product Comparison
Compare the fields behind the cards: exact source, variant, measurements, visible QC evidence, current price context and missing information. Directory position should not influence the result.
Use category-specific questions so unlike records are not forced into a generic score. Keep uncertainty visible until the source or additional evidence resolves it.
| Comparison field | Question to check |
|---|---|
| Source match | Does the destination still describe the same item and variant? |
| Measurements | Are the relevant dimensions readable and comparable? |
| Visual evidence | Do available images show the areas that affect the decision? |
| Current cost | Which components remain outside the item price? |
| Open questions | What information is absent or still time-sensitive? |
Spreadsheet
Within a Litbuy directory, spreadsheet-style records provide a compact route across categories, finds and external sources. They are navigation objects, not approvals or product guarantees.
Open the underlying source before relying on a record. A directory cannot freeze availability, price, seller details or the product variant shown at a later date.
Link status and last-checked transparency
Record a last-checked date with a plain result such as matched, redirected, unavailable or uncertain. That is more useful than an unsupported 'updated' badge.
The status describes one observation, not a promise of future availability. Recheck the destination before relying on it.
Helpful reminder
A last-checked note records one observation. Reopen the link before relying on its current destination or product details.
