Why Broken Links Matter for SEO
Broken links create a poor user experience and can waste crawl budget. Search engines may reduce trust in pages with many broken internal links, and users may leave if they hit 404s.
What This Tool Checks on a Page
This tool analyzes a single page and checks:
- Broken links (4xx/5xx/timeouts) found on that page
- Redirects (3xx) so you can link directly to the final URL
- Images missing alt text so you can improve accessibility and SEO
How to Fix Broken Links
Update internal links to the correct URL, replace removed pages with relevant alternatives, or add a proper 301 redirect if the URL was permanently moved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it check the whole website?
No. This version checks a single page you provide and reports broken links and images missing alt text on that page.
Will it follow robots.txt rules?
Yes. If the page is disallowed by robots.txt for our crawler user-agent, we won’t fetch it.
Why can’t it check some links?
Some servers block automated requests or require authentication. Those will appear as 403/401/timeout failures.
