Broken Link Checker

Scan any webpage for broken links, 404 errors, and redirect chains. Find issues that hurt your SEO and frustrate your visitors before they do.

Why Broken Links Matter

Broken links create a poor user experience and can significantly impact your search engine rankings. Regular link audits are essential for maintaining a healthy website.

SEO Impact

Search engines use links to discover and index content. Broken links waste crawl budget, dilute link equity, and signal to search engines that your site may not be well-maintained.

User Experience

Visitors who click on broken links encounter frustrating dead ends. This increases bounce rates, reduces time on site, and damages trust in your brand. Every 404 is a potential lost customer.

Internal Links

Broken internal links are particularly harmful because they're entirely within your control. They prevent users and search engines from accessing your content and waste internal link equity.

External Links

External links can break when third-party websites remove content or change URLs. Regularly auditing external links helps maintain the quality and credibility of your content.

Redirect Chains

While not technically broken, redirect chains (A β†’ B β†’ C) add unnecessary load time and can confuse search engines. Linking directly to the final destination is always better.

Score Breakdown:

  • A (90-100) - All links healthy
  • B (75-89) - Minor issues
  • C (60-74) - Some broken links
  • D (40-59) - Multiple issues
  • F (0-39) - Critical link problems
