Broken Link Checker
Scan any webpage instantly with our broken link checker — find all dead internal and external links with their HTTP status codes.
A broken link checker is one of the most important technical SEO tools in any website audit workflow. According to Google’s crawling documentation, broken links waste crawl budget and prevent Google from discovering live content — making regular broken link checking essential for maintaining rankings.
Enter any URL and it scans up to 30 links on that page. Each link returns its HTTP status code — 200 (working), 404 (broken), 301 (redirect), 500 (server error). Download a full report as PDF or CSV. The tool checks every link’s HTTP status in seconds.
Broken Link Checker (Homepage)
Checks up to 30 homepage links for status codes. Export to CSV or PDF.

Broken Link Redirects Manager
Check redirect chains and loops — bad redirects are broken links in disguise and hurt SEO just as much.
Analyzes redirect chains and loops that silently bleed link equity. A 301 redirect passes ~95% of link value — but a chain of 3+ redirects loses significant SEO value at each hop. Use this to find and flatten redirect chains to preserve rankings.

How to Fix Broken Links Fast
Different broken link types need different fixes. Here’s what to do after running the broken link checker.
Once your scan results are ready, each broken link type requires a specific fix. See Google’s official 301 redirect documentation for technical implementation guidance on the most important broken link fix in SEO.
Broken Internal Links
Update the link to point to the correct live page. If the page was moved, set up a 301 redirect. Re-scan to confirm the fix.
Broken External Links
Replace the broken external link with a working alternative source, or remove the link entirely if no replacement exists.
Redirect Chains
Update all links to point directly to the final destination URL, bypassing the chain. This preserves 100% of link equity.
404 Pages with Backlinks
If a broken link 404 page has backlinks pointing to it, always set up a 301 redirect to a relevant live page to preserve that link equity.
Redirect Loops
Page A redirects to Page B which redirects back to Page A. Fix by ensuring the final destination URL has no redirect rule pointing elsewhere.
Scan for Broken Links Monthly
Run a broken link scan monthly. New broken links appear when external sites delete pages or change URLs without redirects.
