FAQ
- What is a broken link?
- A broken link (also called a dead link) is a hyperlink that points to a web page or resource that no longer exists or cannot be reached. When a user clicks a broken link, they typically see a 404 "Page Not Found" error.
- How do broken links affect SEO?
- Broken links negatively impact SEO in several ways. They waste crawl budget, create a poor user experience that increases bounce rates, and break the flow of link equity through your site.
- How often should I check for broken links?
- For most websites, a monthly scan is a good baseline. If your site is updated frequently, weekly scans are recommended. On the free plan you run each scan yourself; paid plans scan automatically every day or every week, with an email alert when new links break.
- Is this broken link checker free?
- Yes. You can scan up to 500 pages per website completely free, with no account or credit card required. For larger sites, paid plans start at $10/month.
- What types of broken links does this tool detect?
