❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Broken Link Checker

What are broken links?+
Links pointing to non-existent pages (404), redirects to wrong destinations, or unreachable servers. Hurt user experience and SEO.
Why fix broken links?+
SEO: Google penalizes sites with many broken links. UX: frustrates users. Authority: lost backlink equity. Conversions: users leave broken sites.
How to find broken links on my site?+
Enter your URL in our tool. We use DeadLinkChecker which crawls all links and reports 404s, server errors, and slow links.
Are external broken links also bad?+
Yes! Google sees too many external 404s as low-quality content. Fix or remove broken outbound links regularly.
How often should I check for broken links?+
Monthly for large sites. Quarterly for small sites. After any major content changes. Set up automated monitoring for critical sites.
How to fix broken internal links?+
1) Update to correct URL, 2) Set up 301 redirect from old to new, 3) Remove the link if no replacement, 4) Restore deleted page if needed.
How to fix broken external links?+
1) Find archived version (Wayback Machine), 2) Find similar replacement source, 3) Remove the link, 4) Update with current article URL.
Do redirects count as broken?+
Working redirects (301/302) = OK. Redirect loops = broken. Multiple redirects = warning (slow, SEO loss). Single redirect = acceptable.
What about temporary 503 errors?+
Temporary errors (503, 504) may resolve later. Recheck after 24 hours. Persistent errors mean server issues - contact site owner.
Can broken links hurt SEO?+
Yes. Excessive 404s indicate poor maintenance. Google reduces crawl budget for sites with many errors. Users bounce more often.
Is link to closed Twitter account broken?+
Returns 404 = technically broken. Update or remove. Even if Twitter shows "Account suspended" with 200 status, content is unavailable.
How to monitor broken links automatically?+
Use Google Search Console (free, weekly reports). Set up Screaming Frog (paid, more detailed). Or schedule monthly checks with our tool.
