Broken link checker

Broken links hurt your website. Our broken link checker helps you find and fix them.

Scan scope

We check links, images, scripts and CSS files. Limit per scan: 1000 addresses and 50 pages, up to 90 seconds.

What the checker does

The link checker goes through the website you specify and checks the status of every link on its pages. It verifies the HTTP status, which shows whether a given page works correctly.

Why broken links are harmful

Broken links are links on a page that point to addresses that no longer exist on the site - they return HTTP 404. When Googlebot hits such a page, it stops crawling that branch of the site. Pages behind a broken link drop out of the index or get indexed less often, and with many errors the crawl budget is spent on 404s instead of new content.

For users, it interrupts navigation. Broken links are annoying and can even undermine trust in a store or website. 404 errors in the checkout process can affect conversion - so it pays to keep your links in good technical shape.

Where do 404 errors come from?

  1. Deleted pages, products or blog posts without a redirect in place.
  2. Changed addresses after a migration or a menu rebuild.
  3. Typos in links added manually to content.
  4. External links to pages that have disappeared or changed their address.

How can I fix broken links on my website?

For each broken link you find, use one of the methods below:

  • Fix typos - if an internal link has a spelling mistake, edit the post and replace the address with the correct one.
  • If you deleted a page or changed its address, redirect the old URL to the new address that best matches its topic. For permanently withdrawn pages, products or content you can also use HTTP 410. You can set up redirects in your website's admin panel or in your hosting panel.
  • If the target page (e.g. an external one) no longer exists and has no replacement, remove the hyperlink from the text.

Once the fixes are done, we recommend scanning the website again to check whether the errors are still there.
