Broken Link Checker
Test every link on a page and find 404s, server errors and redirects.
About the Broken Link Checker
Broken links – links that lead to a 404 page, a server error or nowhere at all – frustrate visitors, waste search engine crawl budget and make a site look neglected. They build up naturally as pages are moved, products are discontinued and external sites change.
This checker requests every unique link on a page (up to 150) and reports its status. Broken links are listed first, followed by links that work but go through redirects (update them to point to the final URL). Some sites block automated requests with a 403 or 429; those are shown separately because they usually work for real visitors. To check a whole site, use the Site Audit crawler.
Frequently asked questions
How do I fix a broken link?
Update it to the correct URL, link to a relevant replacement, or remove it. If the broken URL is on your own site and has backlinks, add a 301 redirect to the best matching page.
Do broken outbound links hurt SEO?
A few will not cause a penalty, but many suggest a poorly maintained page and give visitors a bad experience.
Why does a link work in my browser but show as broken here?
Some servers block automated requests or need JavaScript or cookies. Links showing 403/429 are marked as blocked rather than broken for this reason.
