Broken Link Checker

It scans links on a page and identifies URLs that return errors, redirects, or unreachable responses.

The results help you decide which links to update, replace, redirect, or remove.

Broken links can affect crawl paths, user experience, and overall site quality.

A few isolated broken links are usually not catastrophic, but a pattern of broken links can make a site harder to navigate and maintain.

Fix internal broken links first because they directly affect navigation and crawl paths on your own site.

After that, update or replace outdated external references to keep content useful and trustworthy.

Common broken link signals include 404 Not Found, 410 Gone, 500 server errors, timeout responses, and unreachable hosts.

Redirects are not always broken, but long redirect chains should usually be cleaned up.

Check after major content updates, site migrations, URL changes, or redesigns.

For active or larger websites, periodic link audits help catch issues before they pile up.

If the page has a relevant replacement, redirect it to the closest matching live URL.

If there is no useful replacement, remove internal links pointing to it and let the old URL return the appropriate status.
