Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a broken link (404 error)?
A broken link occurs when a webpage points to a URL that no longer exists, has been moved without a redirect, or is temporarily offline. When a user clicks it, the server returns a 404 Not Found error.
How do broken links negatively affect my SEO?
Broken links create a frustrating user experience, causing visitors to immediately bounce off your site. Furthermore, search engine crawlers waste their "crawl budget" on dead ends, which can prevent them from indexing your important, working pages.
Should I delete or redirect a broken link?
If the linked page has been permanently moved to a new URL, you should implement a 301 redirect. If the page is completely gone and there is no relevant alternative, you should simply remove the link from your content.
Does this tool check both internal and external links?
Yes, our broken link checker scans every link on the specified webpage, verifying the status of both your internal site navigation and any outbound links pointing to external websites.
Can a broken link affect my Google Ads campaign?
Absolutely. If you are paying for traffic and your Google Ad points to a broken landing page, Google will likely disapprove your ad, and you will waste money on clicks that generate zero conversions.
