Broken Link Checker

Find broken internal and external links on any page.

Scans up to 60 outbound links per page. Larger crawls coming soon.

What does this broken link checker do?

It crawls a single page, finds every outbound link, and tests each one for HTTP errors. Anything that returns a four hundred class or five hundred class status code or fails entirely shows up red. Working links show up green.

Why fix broken links on your site?

Broken links waste crawl budget, frustrate visitors, and signal a stale site to search engines. Internal broken links hurt the most because they break your internal linking structure. External broken links matter too, since pointing to dead pages reflects badly on your editorial quality.

How do you use this tool?

  1. Paste the URL of the page you want to scan.
  2. Click Scan links.
  3. Wait while the tool tests every link in the page. The first sixty are checked.
  4. Fix or remove anything in the red rows.

When should you run a full site audit instead?

If you have hundreds of pages, run a desktop crawler like Screaming Frog or a paid SaaS tool that can handle the full site at once. This page level checker is for spot fixes and quick audits during edits.

Got more questions?

How often should I check for broken links?
Quarterly is fine for most sites. After any large content migration, check the same week.
Why are some links flagged that work in my browser?
Some servers block bot user agents, so they look broken to scanners. The tool uses a friendly user agent but a few sites still refuse.
Are 301 redirects flagged as broken?
No. The tool follows redirects to the final destination and reports the final status code.
Can I scan password protected pages?
Not yet. The tool fetches public pages only.
