Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about broken link checking.

What is a broken link?

A broken link (also called a dead link) is a hyperlink that no longer works because the destination page has been moved, deleted, or the server is unreachable. Broken links typically return HTTP 404 (Not Found) or 410 (Gone) status codes.

How do broken links affect SEO?

Broken links hurt SEO in several ways: they waste crawl budget, create a poor user experience (which increases bounce rate), and can prevent search engines from discovering important pages on your site. Google recommends regularly auditing your site for broken links.

Why are only 50 links checked?

We limit checks to 50 links per scan to ensure fast, reliable results without timeouts. For most pages, 50 links covers all navigation, content, and footer links. For full-site audits, consider running the tool on multiple pages.

What do the different status types mean?

OK (2xx) means the link works fine. Redirect (3xx) means the link redirects to another URL. Broken (4xx) means the page was not found or is forbidden. Server Error (5xx) means the destination server had an internal error. Timeout means the server did not respond within 10 seconds.
