SEO & Web
Broken Link Checker
Find broken links that hurt your SEO and user experience. Check individual URLs or run a full site audit with an external tool.
Full Site Crawl
For a complete broken link audit of your entire website, use Dead Link Checker. It will crawl all your pages and find every broken link.
Opens Dead Link Checker in a new tab for a full site crawl.
Check Individual URLs
Paste a list of URLs below (one per line) to check if they are reachable.
Note: Some URLs may show as "CORS blocked" because the target server does not allow cross-origin requests from browsers. This does not mean the link is broken.
No URLs checked yet
Paste URLs on the left and click "Check URLs" to see results here.
Why It Matters
Why broken links hurt your SEO
Broken links create a poor user experience and send negative signals to search engines. Here is why you should fix them regularly.
Wasted Crawl Budget
Search engines allocate a limited crawl budget to each site. Broken links waste this budget on pages that return errors instead of content.
Lost Link Equity
When external sites link to a broken page on your site, you lose the SEO value (link equity) that those backlinks would otherwise pass.
Poor User Experience
Visitors who hit 404 pages are more likely to leave your site immediately, increasing your bounce rate and reducing engagement.
Lower Search Rankings
Google considers user experience signals when ranking pages. Sites with many broken links may see their rankings drop over time.
Damaged Trust
Broken links make your site look unmaintained and unprofessional. Visitors may question the reliability of your business.
Missed Conversions
If a broken link is on a key page (pricing, product, contact), you are directly losing potential customers and revenue.
