Find and fix broken links to improve SEO and user experience. Scan websites for dead 404 links that hurt rankings and frustrate visitors. Perfect for SEO audits, website maintenance, and ensuring all links work properly.

ℹ️ Did you know? Broken links hurt SEO rankings and increase bounce rates by 50%. Google penalizes sites with many 404 errors as it indicates poor maintenance and bad user experience.

Why Fix Broken Links?

Better SEO: Google ranks well-maintained sites higher. Broken links signal neglect and hurt your search rankings.

User Experience: Dead links frustrate visitors and increase bounce rates. Working links keep users engaged.

Crawl Budget: Search engines waste time on broken pages. Fix them to ensure crawlers index your important content.

Common Causes of Broken Links

Deleted Pages: Content removed without updating links
Typos: Misspelled URLs in href attributes
External Sites: Third-party pages removed or moved
Domain Changes: Sites moved without proper redirects

💡 SEO Tip: Check for broken links monthly. Use 301 redirects for permanently moved pages and fix or remove 404 errors promptly.

How to Fix Broken Links

Remove links to deleted content
Set up 301 redirects for moved pages
