Broken Link Finder

Find and Fix Broken Links in Minutes

Fix link issues the simple way. Our free Broken Link Checker scans your pages, finds dead URLs, and shows you exactly where each broken link appears in your HTML. It highlights the problem tag, so you can spot the source instantly and update it without digging through code.

Unlike many tools that overwhelm you with long “noisy” lists, this checker reports only truly broken links. It reviews your site as a whole, tracks what it has already flagged, and avoids repeating the same bad URL—unless you choose to run a detailed check again. The result is a clean, easy report that helps you repair your site faster and keep visitors on track.

Why Are Broken Links Bad for Your Website?

Broken links (like 404 errors) do more than annoy visitors—they can quietly hurt your business and your brand. When people click a link and hit a “Page Not Found” message, they lose trust, waste time, and often leave your site. If it happens more than once, many won’t return.

Dead URLs can also block new customers. Visitors may not find the page, product, or information they came for, so they bounce and look elsewhere. Over time, too many broken links can make your website look outdated or poorly maintained, which damages your reputation.

There’s also an SEO cost. Search engines prefer sites that are easy to crawl and provide a smooth experience. A site full of broken links can weaken user signals and reduce the value passed through your internal linking, which may hurt rankings. This slow decay is often called link rot—when good links “rot” into dead pages. Keeping links healthy helps your site stay trustworthy, usable, and search-friendly.

Why Do Links Become Invalid Over Time?

As websites grow, it becomes harder to track every connection between pages. Content gets updated, URLs change, folders move, and old pages get renamed or removed. When that happens, some internal links become outdated and start pointing to pages that no longer exist. The result is a “dangling” link that leads visitors to a 404 error or another failed HTTP response.

Content management systems like WordPress and Joomla can make the situation worse. Because they generate many pages from the same templates and content blocks, one broken internal link can spread across dozens (or even hundreds) of pages, increasing the chances that users will hit “Page Not Found.”

External (outbound) links are even less predictable because you don’t control other websites. A site you link to might change its URL structure, delete a page, move content, let a domain expire, or go offline—without warning. That’s why the smartest fix is simple: run regular link checks on every internal and outbound URL so you can catch dead links early and keep your site clean, trustworthy, and easy to use.

Why Use Our Online Link Checker?

Finding broken links isn’t easy—especially on a growing website. Many tools list URLs, but they don’t clearly show which links are actually dead or where they sit in your code. When a link returns a 404, you still have to hunt through page after page, searching for the exact href (or related tag) that caused the error. That can waste hours, especially on large sites.

Our online Link Checker makes it simple. It crawls your site like a real spider, checks every page, and flags broken internal and outbound links with clear details. The best part: it shows the exact HTML location of each bad link and highlights the problem tag, so you can fix it fast without guessing. Clean up link rot, remove “Page Not Found” errors, and give visitors a smoother experience—while keeping your site strong for SEO.
