Broken Link Checker

Scan any webpage for broken links. Find 404 errors, redirects, and dead links that hurt your SEO and user experience.

Why Broken Links Hurt Your SEO

Broken links (404 errors) send negative signals to search engines. Google interprets dead links as poor site maintenance, which can lower your crawl budget and rankings. For users, hitting a 404 page creates frustration and increases bounce rate. A single page with 3+ broken links can lose 10-15% of its ranking potential.

How Often Should You Check for Broken Links?

Run a broken link check at least monthly, or after any major content update. External links break when other sites restructure, delete pages, or change URLs. Internal links break when you rename slugs or delete old posts. Our Internal Link Analyzer can help with the internal side.
