Paste a URL and the crawler follows every internal link it can find on that page, checking each one's response code. Anything returning a 404, a timeout, or another broken status gets flagged with the exact page it was found on — so you know precisely what to fix and where.
Here's what changes on your site once dead links stop slipping through.
Checks every internal link found on the page for a working response, catching 404s and dead pages in seconds rather than an afternoon of manual clicking.
A site riddled with dead links signals neglect to both visitors and crawlers. Cleaning them up keeps crawl budget focused on pages that actually work.
Nothing sends a visitor away faster than clicking a link and landing on an error page — fixing broken links directly protects conversions.
Results appear as the crawl runs, with no install and no waiting on a queue — just a URL and a report.
Flags empty or "#" hrefs left behind from templates or half-finished pages, which look broken to anyone who clicks them.
Checks links inside body text, buttons, and images alike — not just the obvious navigation menu.
Still deciding? Here's what people usually ask before running this scan.
A broken link is a hyperlink that no longer resolves to a working page — most often because the destination returns a 404 error, has been deleted, or moved without a redirect left behind.
A high number of broken links signals an unmaintained site to both visitors and search engine crawlers, and each one wastes crawl budget that could go toward indexing pages that actually work.
The scan starts from the URL you submit and follows the internal links found on that page, up to a safe limit per run — run it again from other key pages for broader coverage.
It checks internal links wherever they appear — in body text, navigation, buttons, and image links — and flags any that return an error response.
Yes — placeholder links like a bare "#" or an empty href get flagged too, since they look clickable to a visitor but go nowhere.
Once after any major content update or migration, and then periodically — monthly is reasonable for an active site — since links to other pages can quietly break over time even if you haven't touched your own site.
The current scan is focused on internal links found on the page you submit. Checking outbound links to other domains is on the roadmap.
