Find broken links in seconds

Enter the address of one of your pages. We open every link, image, stylesheet and script on it and tell you which ones don't work, which go through needless redirects and which load without HTTPS.

  • No sign-up, full result
  • Up to 150 links and files per page
  • Internal and external, separately

We check one page at a time, with plain requests like a browser's. We keep the address, the result's numbers and the broken links, not the page's content.

What it is

What a broken link is

A link is broken when it leads to a page that no longer exists (a 404 error), to a server that doesn't answer or to a domain that has expired. The same goes for images, stylesheets and scripts: when they're missing, the page looks broken or part of it stops working.

It happens to every site over time: you change a page's address, remove a product, a partner closes their site. Nobody tells you, and the visitor simply leaves.

How it works

  1. 1

    You enter a page address

    Your homepage or any page you like, such as your services page or a blog post.

  2. 2

    We find everything on it

    Links, images, stylesheets, icons and scripts, up to 150 different addresses.

  3. 3

    We open each one

    We follow redirects step by step and note what the server answers at the end.

  4. 4

    You see them sorted

    Broken first, then anything without HTTPS and the redirects, with each link's text so you can find it easily.

Why do it

Why broken links matter

  • Visitors lose trust

    A "not found" page or a missing image says the site isn't looked after, and the visitor moves on to the next one.

  • Google hits dead ends

    Links help Google find and understand your pages. The ones that end in an error pass value nowhere.

  • The fix is usually simple

    Point the link to the right address, or add a 301 redirect from the old one. You just need to know which ones.

What we check

Every address on the page, not just the links

A missing script or stylesheet breaks the page for everyone, so we check those first.

  • Links

    Where every link on the page leads.

    • Internal and external, separately
    • 404, 410 and 500 errors, and domains that don't exist
    • The link's text, so you can find it
  • Images and files

    Everything that loads into the page.

    • Images
    • Stylesheets and scripts
    • Favicon and icons
  • Redirects and HTTPS

    Things that work, but not the way they should.

    • Every redirect hop (301, 302)
    • The final address
    • Links and files on http:// inside an HTTPS page
FAQ

Before you fix your links

Do you check my whole site?

No, one page at a time, and up to 150 different addresses on it. Start with the pages that matter most: your homepage, your services or products and your contact page.

Why do some links show as "not checked"?

Some sites, such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram, refuse automated requests, so we can't say for sure whether the link works. It doesn't mean it's broken. Open it in a browser to confirm.

Are redirects bad?

A single redirect isn't a problem, but every hop adds delay and chains with several hops are worth fixing. For your own links, the simplest fix is to link straight to the final address.

How do I fix a broken link?

If the page lives at a new address, update the link and add a 301 redirect from the old one, so links other sites have to you keep working. If it's gone, remove the link or point it to something equivalent.

What does "no HTTPS" mean?

Your page loads over a secure connection, but a link or file points to http://. For images, stylesheets and scripts this is called mixed content: browsers often block them and may mark the page as not secure. Changing http:// to https:// is usually enough.

Do you keep anything from my page?

We keep the address you checked, the result's numbers and up to 20 broken links, to improve the tool. Not the page's content.

Want us to fix them for you?

We fix broken links, set up proper redirects when addresses change, and keep your site in good shape for both visitors and Google.
