Broken Link Checker
Scan any page and detect every broken internal and external link before it damages your SEO.
How it works
Enter a page URL and the checker extracts all links, tests each one and reports broken links with their HTTP status codes. Filter by internal or external links and export the results.
Worked example
Your site has 120 links on the homepage; 5 point to deleted pages. The checker lists them with their status so you can fix or remove them in one pass.
Recommendations
- Scan your key pages monthly to catch broken links from deleted or moved content
- Fix internal broken links fast — they waste crawl budget and user trust
- Prioritize broken links in footer, nav and content — the most visited places
