Frequently Asked Questions
What is a broken link?
A broken link (or dead link) is a link that points to a non-existent page or resource. When clicked, it results in a 404 error or other error response, which can harm your website's user experience and SEO.
Why should I check for broken links?
Broken links can harm your website's SEO, user experience, and credibility. Search engines penalize sites with many broken links, and users may lose trust in your site if they encounter too many dead ends.
How does the broken link checker work?
Our tool crawls your website, checks all internal and external links, and verifies their status. It generates a comprehensive report showing broken links, redirect chains, and optimization opportunities.
What types of links are checked?
The tool checks both internal links (within your website) and external links (pointing to other websites). It also analyzes redirect chains and identifies potential optimization opportunities.
