Broken Link Checker
Find unreachable links on a web page.
A broken link checker collects the links on a page and requests each one, reporting the status it gets back. A 404 means the target is gone; a timeout may only mean the destination is slow or blocking automated requests.

How Broken Link Checker works
What it does
Find unreachable links on a web page.
What you get
HTTP check results for a limited sample of links on the page.
Live data sources
The target is sent to a network provider. Results include their source; timeouts and unavailable data are clearly marked.
What if a check cannot finish?
Confirm your input and try again. A timeout, blocked request, or unavailable provider is not proof that a domain is broken. Internet measurements and third-party services have limits.
Broken Link Checker — frequently asked questions
How many links are checked?
A bounded sample from the page, so the check finishes quickly and does not hammer the targets. It is a spot check, not a full site crawl.
A link works in my browser but is reported broken. Why?
Some sites block automated requests, require a session, or rate-limit repeated hits. Always confirm a reported failure by hand before deleting the link.
Do broken links hurt SEO?
Broken outbound links mainly hurt visitors. Broken internal links matter more: they waste crawl budget and strand pages that would otherwise be reachable.
