Broken Link Checker
Enter any page URL. The tool reads every link on the page, checks each one, and shows which are broken, which redirect and which work, along with the anchor text so you can find them quickly. You can scan up to 25 pages in one run, and the results show which page each broken link was found on.

How to find broken links on a page
- Paste one page URL, or up to 25 (one per line), and choose internal links, external links or both. Tick Images to check image files too.
- Click Find broken links. The tool reads the page, then checks every link.
- Review the Broken tab first, then Redirected.
- Download the CSV to share with your developer or content team.
Why broken links matter
- Visitors: a dead link breaks trust, especially on service and pricing pages.
- Crawling: search engines spend time on URLs that lead nowhere.
- Link value: internal links help Google find and understand your pages. A broken internal link passes nothing.
- Conversions: a broken “Book now” or “WhatsApp us” link costs you leads directly.
Where broken links usually hide
- Old blog posts linking to pages that were renamed or deleted.
- Menus and footers after a redesign.
- Links to partner sites, news articles and tools that have shut down.
- Image URLs that changed after moving to a new host or CDN.

Frequently asked questions
What is a broken link?
A broken link points to a page that no longer works, usually returning 404 Not Found, 410 Gone or a server error. Visitors hit a dead end and search engines waste time crawling it.
Does this check my whole website?
It checks every link on up to 25 pages per run (up to 1,000 unique links). To cover a whole site, run it on your most important pages, such as the homepage, service pages and top blog posts, or ask us for a full crawl.
Why are some external links shown as broken when they work in my browser?
Some sites block automated checkers and return 403 or 429. Open the link yourself to confirm before removing it.
Should I fix redirected links?
They work, but each one adds a small delay. For internal links, update them to point straight to the final URL. For external links it is optional.
How should I fix a broken link?
Update it to the correct URL, link to a similar live page, or remove it. If the broken link points to your own site, also add a 301 redirect from the old URL.
