Broken Link Checker
Scan any webpage for broken outbound links. Find dead links returning 404, 500, or timeout errors that hurt SEO and user experience.
How to Use This Tool
Paste any public URL and the tool will fetch the page, extract all outbound links, and check each one for availability. Broken links are links that return HTTP error codes (4xx or 5xx) or fail to respond within 5 seconds. Fix broken links to improve user experience and preserve link equity.
Fix 404s first — they are the most common
Most broken links are simple 404 Not Found errors caused by pages being moved or deleted. Update the href to the new URL or remove the link entirely.
Check after content migrations
When a site you link to redesigns or migrates, URLs break silently. Run this tool after any major link partner changes.
Prioritize links in main content
A broken link in your article body hurts more than one in a sidebar widget. Focus your fix effort on the primary content area.
Set up regular monitoring
Run a monthly check on your most important pages. External sites change without notice — a link that worked last month might be dead today.
