Broken Link Checker FAQs

Why should I check for broken links?

Broken links negatively impact SEO rankings and user experience, making your website less trustworthy and professional. Search engines like Google penalize sites with too many broken links, and visitors become frustrated when they encounter 404 errors. Regular broken link checks help maintain site quality and credibility.

Does this tool check all pages of a website?

No, it scans only the specific page you provide and checks all links found on that page. To check your entire website, you would need to run the tool on multiple pages. For comprehensive site-wide checking, consider using a dedicated crawler or running checks on your main pages and sitemaps.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes! Our Broken Link Checker is completely free to use. We use browser automation technology to provide accurate link checking results. There is a 20-second cooldown between checks to ensure fair usage and maintain service quality for all users.

What causes broken links?

Broken links occur when: pages are deleted or moved without redirects, domain names expire or change, external websites remove content, URLs are mistyped, or server configurations change. Regular maintenance and using 301 redirects when moving pages can prevent most broken link issues.

How often should I check for broken links?

Check for broken links at least monthly for active websites, weekly for high-traffic sites, after major site updates or migrations, before important campaigns or events, and quarterly at minimum for static sites. Automated monitoring tools can help track links continuously and alert you to issues immediately.

Pro Tips

  • • Set up 301 redirects for moved or deleted pages to prevent broken links and preserve SEO value.
  • • Use Google Search Console to find broken links that Google discovered while crawling your site.
  • • Check external links regularly - websites you link to may change or remove content without notice.
  • • Implement custom 404 error pages with helpful navigation to keep users engaged even when they hit broken links.
  • • Before deleting pages, check incoming links using analytics tools to decide if redirects are needed.
  • • Test links after major site updates, CMS migrations, or hosting changes to catch issues early.
  • • Use relative URLs for internal links when possible - they're less likely to break during domain changes.
  • • Monitor competitor and partner sites you link to - if they shut down, update your links promptly.
