About Broken Link Checker

Broken Link Checker scans a page for links that return error status codes such as 404. Site owners searching "broken link checker", "dead link scanner", or "find 404 links" need crawl hygiene without a full desktop auditor.

Enter a page URL and scan. Results reflect what the checker can request - login walls, geo blocks, and aggressive bot protection can hide real statuses.

Broken links waste crawl budget and frustrate users. Fix high-traffic templates first (navigation, footer, popular posts), then long-tail articles.

Benefits of Broken Link Checker

Status-code based checks Catch 404 and server errors.
Page-level scan Focus on one URL at a time.
UX and SEO hygiene Remove dead ends from content.
Fast triage Prioritise fixes before a full site crawl.

Frequently asked questions

Does it crawl my whole site?

This tool focuses on links found on the URL you enter.

Why is a working link marked broken?

Temporary outages, bot blocks, or redirects can confuse automated checks - verify manually.

Do nofollow links get checked?

Link status is about the target URL responding, not the rel attribute.

Can it check links behind login?

Public pages work best; authenticated areas usually cannot be scanned.

How often should I scan?

After major redesigns and periodically on key landing pages.
