Broken Link Checker


Enter a page URL to scan every link on it and find the dead ones — 404s, server errors, and redirects — with a filterable report you can export to CSV.

The Broken Link Checker scans a web page and tests every link on it, so you can find and fix the dead ones.

Because browsers can't read another site's links, our server fetches the page safely and checks each link.

How to check for broken links

  1. Enter a page URL.
  2. We extract and test every link's HTTP status.
  3. Review or export — filter to broken links and download a CSV.

Why broken links matter

Dead links frustrate visitors and waste the crawl budget search engines spend on your site. Fixing them keeps link equity flowing to pages that still exist.

When a link redirects, it's worth checking the destination — the Redirect Checker traces the full chain.

Links are one signal among many. The HTTP Header Checker reveals a page's response headers, and the On-Page SEO Checker audits its title, headings, and meta tags.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the checker find links?

Browsers cannot read another site's links, so our server fetches the page, extracts every link, and checks each one's status. The requests are SSRF-protected and private addresses are refused.

What counts as a broken link?

Any link that returns a 4xx (like 404 Not Found) or 5xx (server error) status, or that cannot be reached at all. Redirects (3xx) are shown so you can review them.

How many links can it check?

Up to 200 links per page. Each link is checked with a quick status request, and results appear live as they complete.

Is the page or its links stored?

No. The page is fetched to read its links and is not saved. Only rate-limiting counters are kept to prevent abuse.
