Guide

How to Use the Broken Link Checker

The Broken Link Checker scans a URL for dead internal and external links, 404 errors, and redirect problems, returning each broken path with the page it lives on. Logistics sites accumulate dead links quickly as carrier pages, regulatory references, and partner URLs change without notice.

Why broken links quietly drain rankings

Every dead link is a dead end for the crawler following it, and crawlers with limited time spend less of it on pages behind errors. Visitors hit the same wall and bounce, which sends poor engagement signals back to search. External links fail most often because partners reorganize their sites; internal links fail when slugs change without a redirect. The report separates the two so you know whether to update a URL or add one.

Fixing strategy: redirect, update, or remove

Internal links pointing at moved pages should be updated to the new URL directly, since a chain of redirects wastes crawl budget. If the destination is gone for good, point the link at the closest relevant page or remove it. External links to permanently dead resources should be replaced with a live source or stripped entirely. Re-run the scan monthly; broken links grow on their own if nobody watches them.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it check external links?▼

Yes, it checks both internal and external links found on your pages.

How many pages can it scan?▼

The scan covers all linked pages found during the crawl.

How accurate are the results?▼

Our tools use multiple AI engines and real-time data sources to provide accurate, up-to-date analysis.

Can I use the results commercially?▼

Yes, all results are yours to use for any purpose.

How long does a full site scan take?▼

A single page with a normal number of links finishes in seconds. Larger sites take longer because every discovered URL has to be requested individually.

Should I fix external broken links too?▼

Yes. Replace them with a working source or remove the reference. An external link that 404s tells readers the page was never maintained, which weakens the trust your content is trying to build.
