Maintain your website’s integrity and user experience with our free, comprehensive broken link checker.

Broken links damage your website’s credibility, frustrate visitors, and hurt your search engine rankings. Our free Website Broken Link Checker scans your entire site to identify dead links, 404 errors, and redirect chains that could be costing you traffic and conversions. Whether you’re maintaining a large content site, running an e-commerce store, or managing client websites, this tool helps you quickly discover and fix broken links before they impact your user experience. Google penalises sites with too many broken links, so regular checks are essential for maintaining strong SEO performance and keeping visitors engaged.

Broken links occur when a hyperlink points to a webpage that no longer exists or has moved, resulting in error pages that frustrate users and signal poor site maintenance to search engines. There are several types of link issues to watch for: 404 errors indicate pages that have been deleted or moved without proper redirects; 301 redirects show permanently moved content but can slow down page load times when chained together; 302 temporary redirects that were never updated; and broken external links pointing to third-party sites that have changed or removed content. Internal broken links (links within your own site) are particularly damaging as they’re entirely within your control to fix, while external broken links can affect your credibility when you’re citing sources or recommending resources that no longer exist.
