Find Broken Links On Your Page
Scan the links on a page and report which ones return errors or fail to resolve.
Problem: Visitors and search engines are encountering pages that no longer work.
We collect the links on the page you submit and request each one, reporting its status code. Scanning is limited in breadth and depth so the check stays fast and does not overload the target site.
What we'll check
- All anchor links found in the page HTML
- HTTP status of each link
- Internal vs external classification
- Redirected links
- Unreachable hosts
Why broken links matter
- A dead link ends the visitor's journey, often on the page closest to a purchase or enquiry.
- Crawl budget is wasted on URLs that return errors.
- Internal links that 404 break the flow of authority through your site.
- Broken outbound links suggest the page is unmaintained.
Common causes
- Pages renamed or deleted without a redirect.
- A site migration where URL structure changed.
- External sites removing content you linked to.
- Typos in hand-written hrefs.
- HTTP links left behind after an HTTPS migration.
How to fix broken links
- Point internal 404s at the closest relevant page with a 301 redirect.
- Update or remove dead external links rather than leaving them.
- Keep a redirect map whenever URLs change.
- Avoid chains — redirect straight to the final destination.
Frequently asked questions
- Does it crawl my whole site?
- No. It scans the links found on the single page you submit, with a capped number of link checks per run.
- Why do some valid links report an error?
- Some sites block automated requests or rate limit them. Verify those manually before removing the link.
