Enter a website URL to scan for broken links (404 errors)
Scanning website for broken links...
| URL | Status | Source Page | Link Text |
|---|
Okay, let’s paint a picture. You’ve got this awesome website—snazzy design, slick copy, maybe even a blog you occasionally remember to update. But then someone clicks a link and—uh-oh—404 Not Found. Boom. Trust lost. Visitor gone. Cue sad trombone.
This is where a Broken Link Checker comes in. It’s basically like a little internet detective that sniffs around your site and finds any links that don’t go anywhere. No more sending your users down a digital dead-end. It crawls your pages, checks every link, and tells you what’s broken, where it lives, and why it’s not working. You know... so you can actually fix it.
Seriously, just plug in your URL and let it work its magic. You don’t have to download anything or watch a boring tutorial. It’ll scan your site and spit out a list of busted links. Boom. Done.
It’s like getting a website health check—without the awkward small talk.
Alright, let’s be honest—nobody wakes up thinking, “Ooooh, I can’t wait to check for broken links today.” But you know what? It actually matters. A lot.
Broken links mess with your user experience. They frustrate people. And let’s not forget, Google’s little robots crawling your site? They hate dead links. A bunch of 404 errors can actually drag down your SEO.
A Broken Link Checker helps you stay on top of things. You don’t have to click through every page manually like it’s 1997. You just run the checker and fix what needs fixing. It’s low effort, high payoff.
Here’s what makes this Broken Link Checker your new best digital friend:
Using this tool is honestly easier than ordering a pizza. Here’s how it works:
Okay, there are other link checkers out there, sure. But they’re often clunky, outdated, or only half-do what you actually need.
This Broken Link Checker is built to be fast, lightweight, and actually usable. It’s not just for developers. It’s for content creators, marketers, bloggers, eCommerce folks—basically, anyone with a website.
It just works. And it works well.
Perfect for those “oh crap, did I forget to update all my links after that redesign?” moments.
Will this Broken Link Checker work on any site?
Pretty much, yeah. As long as your site is live and public, you can scan it. Doesn’t matter if it’s WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, or something else.
Does it check internal and external links?
Yup. The Broken Link Checker checks both internal links (within your own site) and external ones (that point to other sites). If either is broken, it’ll show up in your report.
How often should I run a Broken Link Checker?
At least once a month, especially if you update your content regularly or run a blog. Stuff changes fast—links break, pages move, entire websites vanish. Staying on top of it keeps things clean.
What kind of errors does it detect?
It flags common link errors like 404 Not Found, 403 Forbidden, 500 Server Errors, and timeout issues. It’s not just “this is broken”—it tells you why.
Do I need to install anything?
Nope. This Broken Link Checker is 100% browser-based. No downloads, no plugins, no bloat. Just you, your URL, and the truth.
Look—we’ve all been there. You click a link on your own site months after you wrote it, and... nothing. Just a sad little 404 page. It happens. But when it keeps happening? That’s a problem.
A Broken Link Checker helps you catch that stuff before your visitors do. It keeps your site trustworthy, your SEO healthy, and your user experience smooth. And it does it without making you feel like you need to learn web development just to run a scan.
So if you’ve been putting off checking your site for dead links? No more excuses. Run the tool. Fix the links. Sleep a little better at night knowing your site isn’t silently sabotaging itself.
Trust me—it’s worth the three minutes.
