Broken Link Checker

Paste any page URL below and we’ll test every <a href> on that page for HTTP errors.

About the Broken Link Checker

Broken links (HTTP 4xx/5xx errors) frustrate users and harm your search‑engine ranking. This tool fetches a single page and examines every hyperlink (<a href>). Links that return status codes ≥400 or fail to connect are flagged for your review.

Example

Suppose you enter:

http://example.com/mypage

And that page contains these links:

http://example.com/home → 200 OK http://example.com/old → 404 Not Found http://othersite.com/api → 500 Internal Server Error

Our output will show the two broken links:

http://example.com/old 404 http://othersite.com/api 500

How to Interpret Results

  • 200 OK: Link is healthy.
  • 4xx (e.g. 404): Client error—page not found or moved.
  • 5xx (e.g. 500): Server error—site may be down or misconfigured.
  • Failed: Connection timed out or network issue.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Run this check after major content updates to catch moved or renamed pages.
  • Schedule regular audits to maintain SEO health.
  • Fix broken links by updating URLs or setting up proper redirects.
  • Use descriptive link text to help users and search engines understand your pages.
