Broken Link Checker

Enter a page URL to scan all its links and instantly see which ones are broken, redirecting, or working fine.

💡

How it works

We fetch the page, extract up to 60 links, then probe each one with a HEAD request (falling back to GET). Timeouts are set to 8 seconds per link. Checks run in parallel so results are fast. Some servers block automated requests — those show as broken even if the link is valid.

How to use this tool

  1. 1 Enter the URL of the page you want to check.
  2. 2 Click Scan.
  3. 3 The tool fetches the page, extracts all links, and checks each one for a valid HTTP response.
  4. 4 Review the list of broken links (404s, timeouts, and server errors) and fix or remove them.

Frequently asked questions

Why are broken links bad for SEO?
Broken links frustrate users and signal to search engines that a site is poorly maintained. They also waste crawl budget on dead URLs.
What causes broken links?
Pages being deleted or moved without setting up a redirect, external sites going offline, and typos in URLs when the link was originally added.
Does the tool check links on external sites?
It checks the HTTP status of external links. It does not recursively crawl external sites.
How often should I check for broken links?
Monthly for active sites. After any major content migration or URL restructuring, run a full check immediately.
