How to Use Broken Link Checker
Broken links can seriously harm your SEO, user experience, and website credibility. A single dead link may cause visitors to leave your site and search engines to lower your rankings.
The Broken Link Checker helps you quickly find broken or invalid links on any webpage so you can fix them before they cause problems.

A Broken Link Checker is a tool that scans a webpage and detects links that:
- No longer exist
- Return errors (404, 403, etc.)
- Are inaccessible or unreachable
- Lead to removed or blocked pages
This tool checks all links on a given page and shows which ones are working and which ones are broken.
✅ Why Broken Links Are Bad
Broken links can:
- Hurt SEO rankings
- Increase bounce rate
- Reduce user trust

- Make your site look outdated
Regularly checking links helps maintain a healthy, professional website.
