Which of your links go nowhere?

Links break quietly. A page gets renamed, a supplier redesigns their site, someone fixes a typo in a slug. This audit follows every link on your pages and tells you which ones are dead and where they are.

  • Every unique link followed, internal and external
  • The page each broken link sits on, so you know where to go
  • The status code or error each one returned
  • Internal breaks weighted hardest, because those are your pages

Ten pages, every link on them.

Most audits are bounded by how many pages they read. This one is bounded by how many links those pages contain, because it makes a real request to every one and waits for an answer. A ten-page crawl of a link-heavy site is several hundred outbound requests, so we keep the page count deliberately low and check everything on those pages properly rather than skimming thirty.

Broken link FAQs

Because it appears on several pages. We list one row per link per page it was found on, which is how you tell a one-off typo from a link in your header or footer. If a link repeats down the whole list, it is in a shared template and one fix clears every row.

Because the cost here is links, not pages.

That happens. Some sites refuse automated requests, some rate-limit, some were briefly down when we asked. We report exactly what came back so you can judge. Check anything surprising in a browser before changing it.

No. A broken internal link is a page of yours that a visitor cannot reach, so it is weighted hardest. A broken external link is worth fixing but it is someone else's site that moved, and it says less about the health of yours.

This audit follows links, meaning anchors between pages. Missing images and render-blocking resources are the performance audit's territory, and both are pillars of the full site audit.

After any content migration or site restructure, and periodically otherwise. Link rot is gradual and invisible, which is why nobody notices it until a customer does.

Want them fixed, not just found?

Broken links are usually a symptom of something structural: a migration that dropped redirects, or a CMS nobody owns. We fix both.
