What is the Broken Link Checker?

Scan any webpage to find broken outbound links that hurt SEO and user experience.

The Broken Link Checker scans a webpage and identifies all broken outbound links (links pointing to pages that return 404, 500, or other error status codes). Broken links create dead ends for users and waste crawl budget - both harmful to SEO. Google has stated that excessive broken links can negatively impact how they assess site quality. Regular broken link audits are a basic but essential SEO maintenance task.
