Enter a URL
A broken link (also called a dead link) is a hyperlink that no longer leads to the intended destination. It might return a 404 error, redirect to a non-existent page, or simply fail to load due to a domain issue or page deletion.
Broken links hurt your website’s SEO, disrupt user experience, and may signal to search engines that your site is outdated or poorly maintained.
The Broken Links Finder on seochecker.tools helps you scan any web page and identify all dead or non-functional URLs—both internal and external. This lets you fix link issues before they damage your search engine rankings or turn visitors away.

Q1. Why are broken links bad for SEO?
Broken links reduce crawl efficiency, frustrate users, and can lead to lower trust and rankings in search engine results. They signal that your site may not be actively maintained.
Q2. How often should I check for broken links?
Ideally, perform link audits once a month or after every major update or content migration.
Q3. Can this tool scan an entire website?
This tool checks one URL at a time. For large-scale audits, you can check important landing pages and category URLs or integrate crawling tools.
Q4. Does it also check links inside buttons or JavaScript?
The tool focuses on traditional anchor (<a>) tags. For JavaScript-based links or dynamic content, manual inspection may be necessary.
Q5. How can I fix broken links?
Options include:
Replacing the link with a working alternative
Removing the link entirely
Setting up 301 redirects if the page has moved
SEO audits and website maintenance
Improving user experience by removing dead-end pages
Validating outgoing links in blog posts and affiliate articles
Checking for expired product or service links
Ensuring clean navigation paths before site launch
