Broken Link Checker

Find broken links on any page. We parse <a href> (and optionally assets), check HTTP status, and flag 404/5xx/timeouts with internal/external breakdown.

Also try our Meta Title & Description Checker, Canonical Tag Checker, Open Graph Checker, Hreflang Validator, Robots.txt Tester, Sitemap Inspector.

What Is a Broken Link Checker?

A Broken Link Checker crawls a page, extracts hyperlinks, and tests their HTTP status to find dead links such as 404 Not Found, 5xx server errors, or timeouts. Fixing broken links improves user experience and can help crawl efficiency.

What We Test

Anchors: <a href="…"> links (internal & external)
Optional assets: <img src>, <script src>, and <link rel="stylesheet" href>
Redirects: We follow 3xx hops and show the final URL

Tips for Fewer Broken Links

Use absolute URLs for critical navigation.
Avoid linking to URLs behind authentication or that block bots.
Remove or replace links that consistently return 4xx/5xx.

Pro tip: If a site blocks HEAD requests, we retry with a lightweight GET to confirm status.
