Broken link checker for your site and the pages that link to you

Every link on every crawled page is fetched. 404s, 410s, server errors and timeouts are listed with the page they are on and the text they carry.

The pages that link to you, from the backlink checker, are fetched and the link followed. A link to a page of yours that no longer exists is a lost link you can recover with a redirect.

A link that bounces through two redirects before landing loses speed and some weight. Chains are listed with the direct address to use instead.

Change the link, add a redirect, or restore the file: the edit is written per finding, and applies with one click where we host.

Missing images, PDFs and scripts are broken links a reader notices. They are checked the same way.

Pages move and sites change. The agent re-checks target pages every night and tells you when a link breaks.

Site crawlers check your pages. The links pointing at you from elsewhere are the ones worth money, and only a backlink index can see them.

Three redirects reach the page in the end. Each hop costs time and some weight, and most crawlers report nothing.

Knowing a link is broken is step one. The redirect rule or the changed link is step two, and it is written here.

The most common. One redirect from the old address fixes every link to it at once.

An image or PDF taken down in a clean-up. Restore it or remove the link.

Their page is gone. Remove the link or point it at an archive.

Old links that bounce through a redirect. Change them to https and save the hop.

Two addresses for one page, one redirecting to the other. Link to the final one.

Found on every page at once. Fix the menu, fix the site.

Service pages renamed over the years, with old links from local guides still pointing at them.

Docs and changelog pages that move with every release.

Products that sold out and were deleted, with reviews and guides still linking to them.

They recover links from outside, which are the valuable ones.

Change or remove the dead links on your pages; a page of dead links reads as abandoned.

Pages move with every deploy. The agent re-checks nightly in the product.

The page does not exist at that address. The most common broken link, usually a rename.

A page that sends the visitor to another address. Fine once; a chain of them costs speed and some weight.

A link from another site to yours. The valuable kind; a broken one is a lost link you can recover with a redirect.

A link from your page to another site. A dead one makes your page read as unmaintained.

An image, file or script a page loads. Missing assets are broken links a reader notices immediately.

The checker following every link from the home page and the sitemap, up to fifty pages on the free check.

A visitor who wanted a guide lands on the home page and leaves. Redirect to the page that replaced it.

Merge or redirect first. A deleted page with twenty links is twenty lost links.

One redirect rule for the old address fixes every link to it, inside and outside, at once.

Fifty pages of a site redesigned two years earlier. Thirty-eight broken links: twenty-six internal, nine outbound, three missing images. Twenty of the internal ones pointed at the old blog path, which had been renamed in the redesign and never redirected. Six external sites still linked to those old addresses too.

One redirect rule mapped the old blog path to the new one: twenty internal links and six inbound links fixed at once. Four dead outbound links were replaced with the pages that superseded them; five were removed. The three images were restored from a backup. Two redirect chains of three hops became one hop each.

The six external sites that linked to the old path had been sending visitors to a 404 for two years. After the redirect, those links counted again, and the pages they pointed at regained positions within the next crawl. Nobody was emailed. Nothing was asked for. The links were already there.

A monthly crawl after that, and a fix list by email when anything breaks. In the product, the agent also watches the links it has earned for you, so a won link that silently disappears is reported, with a polite note to the site drafted and waiting for your approval.

A broken inbound link is a lost link from another site. A redirect recovers it without an email. Fix these the same day.

Dead links on pricing, product and top guides read as neglect to a visitor who is deciding. Fix those before the archive.

A three-hop redirect costs speed on every visit. Point the first address at the final one and remove the middle.

Replace a dead outbound link with the page that replaced it; remove it if nothing did. Low urgency, high volume.

Every page, every month, with a fix list in the morning digest the day something breaks. Nothing to remember.

For each broken internal address, the agent writes the redirect rule in your server's format. You paste it, or approve it for a connected site.

Each link the agent earns is re-checked weekly. A dropped one gets a draft note to the site, waiting for your approval before it goes.
