Broken link checker

Find the links that are broken.

Enter your website address. We follow the sitemap, or the internal links if there is no sitemap, and check every link we find. You get the status code, the destination and which page the link sits on.

Free, no sign-up. The check runs straight in your browser and is not stored.

Up to 60 pages per run Up to 300 unique links 12 second timeout per link

Results are listed here. Run a check and you will see which links fail, and where on the site they sit.

What broken links actually cost

four things worth doing something about

404s eat trust

A visitor who clicks and lands on nothing assumes the rest of the site is equally neglected. Google also spends part of its crawl budget on pages that do not exist, instead of on the ones you want indexed.

If you move a page, make it a 301

A permanent redirect carries both the visitor and the page's accumulated value across to the new address. Simply deleting the old page loses both, and every link that pointed there becomes a dead end.

The footer lives its own life

Links in the footer and menu sit on every page and rarely get retested. One broken link there is multiplied by the site's entire page count, and it has often been there for years before anyone notices.

External links die quietly

Companies change domain, articles get taken down and public bodies rebuild their sites. Nobody tells you when it happens, so a reference you added three years ago may point straight at a parking page today. Run the check once a quarter.
