Why Check for Broken Links?

Broken links (also known as dead links or link rot) are hyperlinks on a web page that no longer work. They negatively impact your website's user experience and search engine rankings.

Boost SEO Rankings

Google interprets broken links as a sign of an abandoned or neglected site. Fixing them improves site quality signals and crawl efficiency.

Improve User Experience

Nothing frustrates a user more than a 404 error. Ensuring all links work keeps visitors engaged and lowers your bounce rate.

Recover Lost Traffic

Broken backlinks from other sites mean lost referral traffic. Identifying and redirecting these can reclaim valuable visitors.

Maintenance Made Easy

Manually checking every link is impossible for large sites. Our tool crawls your page instantly to find dead links.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes broken links?

Common causes include typos in the URL, the destination page being deleted or moved (without a redirect), or the external website going offline.

How do I fix broken links?

  • Correction: Fix typos in the URL.
  • Replacement: Link to a different, relevant resource if the original is gone.
  • Removal: Unlink the text if no suitable replacement exists.
  • 301 Redirect: For your own pages, redirect the old URL to a new one.

Does this tool crawl my entire website?

This tool checks the links found on the single specific page you enter. To check an entire domain, you would need a full site crawler.

What do the error codes mean?

404 (Not Found) means the page doesn't exist. 403 (Forbidden) means access is denied. 500 (Server Error) indicates a problem with the hosting server.
