Broken links are more than a cosmetic problem
A dead link interrupts the visitor journey and can leave important pages disconnected from the rest of your site. Regular checks make it easier to catch deleted pages, changed URLs and server problems before they sit unnoticed for weeks.
Common questions
What counts as a broken link?
Links that return errors such as 404 or 5xx responses, fail to respond or time out are treated as broken or problematic.
Does the checker follow internal links?
Yes. The quick scan discovers and checks a bounded set of internal pages and links on the same site.
Can broken links be monitored automatically?
Yes. Website monitoring can re-check the site and alert you when the health of the site changes.
