Broken Link Checker

What it does

  • Crawls a page and checks every outbound and internal link's HTTP status.
  • Flags broken links (4xx/5xx), redirects (3xx), and healthy links.
  • Surfaces the dead links first so you can fix the highest-impact issues.

How it works

  1. Enter a page URL.
  2. We fetch the page and check each link's status code.
  3. Fix or redirect the broken links it finds.

Why use a broken link checker?

Broken links waste crawl budget, leak link equity, and frustrate users. Fixing them recovers lost SEO value and improves the experience.

Best practices

  • Redirect broken internal links to the closest relevant page.
  • Update or remove dead external links.
  • Re-scan after big content migrations.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a broken link?

Any link returning a 4xx or 5xx status (e.g. 404 Not Found, 500 Server Error), or one that fails to respond at all.

Do broken links hurt SEO?

Yes. They waste crawl budget, leak link equity, and signal low maintenance quality, while also hurting user experience.
