Broken Link Checker

A broken link points to a page that no longer works, usually returning an error like 404 Not Found or 500 Server Error, or a website that no longer exists. Visitors who click it hit a dead end.

A few broken links will not tank your rankings, but they waste crawl budget, stop internal link value from flowing, and frustrate visitors. Regularly fixing them is part of good site maintenance.

Update the link to the correct new URL, replace it with a link to a similar working page, or remove it. For broken internal pages, set up a 301 redirect from the old URL to the most relevant new page.

Some websites block automated requests or respond slowly, which can make a working link look broken. Click the link to check it in your browser. Social networks and sites behind strong firewalls often cause this.

This tool checks one page at a time, which keeps it fast and free. Scan your most important pages, like the homepage, main menu pages and popular posts, one by one.
