Frequently Asked Questions

What is a broken link?

A broken link (also called a dead link or 404 error) is a hyperlink that no longer works. This happens when the destination page has been moved, deleted, or the URL was typed incorrectly.

Why are broken links bad for SEO?

Broken links hurt your search rankings because they create a poor user experience and signal to search engines that your site is not well-maintained. Google and other search engines may penalize sites with many broken links.

How many links can I check for free?

Our free tool checks up to 50 links per page scan. This is typically enough for most web pages. For larger sites, you can run multiple scans on different pages.

What HTTP status codes indicate broken links?

Common broken link codes include: 404 (Not Found), 410 (Gone), 500 (Server Error), 502 (Bad Gateway), and 503 (Service Unavailable). Any 4xx or 5xx status generally indicates a problem.

How often should I check for broken links?

It is recommended to check at least monthly, or after making significant content changes. Regular checks help maintain good SEO health and user experience.
