Broken Link Scanner

Crawls your page's internal links and flags those returning 404, 410 or 5xx errors.

What it checks

This scanner crawls your page's internal links and detects those returning errors like 404, 410 or 5xx. In other words, it finds links that lead to pages that no longer exist or that fail.

Why it matters

Broken links frustrate your visitors and make them leave the site, and they also waste Google's crawl budget on dead pages. A site full of 404 errors signals neglect and hurts both the experience and your ranking.

How to fix it

Fix or update links pointing to non-existent pages so they lead to the correct destination. When you remove a page permanently, set up a redirect to a relevant alternative instead of leaving the link broken.
