🔴
404 Not Found
Links pointing to pages that no longer exist. Each one harms your crawl budget and user experience.
🗑️
410 Gone
Pages permanently deleted. Stronger signal to Google than 404 — update or remove links pointing here.
🔁
Redirect Chains
Links that hop through 2+ redirects before reaching the destination. Each hop loses PageRank.
🖼️
Broken Images
Image src attributes pointing to missing files. Causes layout breaks and signals poor maintenance.
⛔
403 Forbidden
Server is blocking access. Flagged as warnings — the link may work for users but not for crawlers.
💥
5xx Server Errors
Destination server is throwing errors. Temporary issues that should be monitored and fixed.

Broken Links Silently Kill Your SEO

Every broken link wastes crawl budget — Google spends time fetching dead pages instead of indexing your good content. On large sites this directly limits how many of your pages get indexed.

Pages with too many outbound broken links are seen as poorly maintained by Google. This can drag down the page's overall quality score and suppress rankings.

After any migration, theme change, or URL restructure — broken links multiply fast. The average website accumulates dozens of dead links per month through natural link rot alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the broken link checker work?
The tool fetches your page, extracts every anchor link and image source, then sends real HTTP HEAD requests to each URL — falling back to GET if the server rejects HEAD. It reports the exact status code (200, 301, 404, 5xx) for every single link. No estimates, no guesses.
What counts as a broken link?
Links returning 404 Not Found, 410 Gone, or any 5xx server error are marked broken. Links that return 403 Forbidden or sit in a redirect chain of 2+ hops are flagged as warnings — they may work but cause SEO or performance issues.
How many links can I check for free?
The free plan checks up to 100 links per page per run — enough for most pages. The Pro plan at $2/month checks up to 500 links. Agency at $5/month adds scheduled checks and email alerts.
Why should I fix broken links?
Broken links waste crawl budget (Google spends time on dead pages instead of your content), lower page quality scores, and cause visitors to hit dead ends. After any migration or site restructure, a broken link audit should be the first thing you run.
Can it check my entire website?
Currently the tool checks all links found on a single page you provide. To audit your whole site, run it on your most important pages — homepage, category pages, high-traffic posts. Full site crawling is on the roadmap for the Agency plan.
