What is a broken link checker?

A broken link checker collects the links on a page and requests each one to see whether it still works. Links that return 404 or other errors frustrate visitors and waste search-engine crawl budget. This tool checks the outbound links on the page you enter.

How to find broken links on a page

Enter the page URL or domain in the box above.
Click Check Links.
Review links reported as broken or erroring.
Update each to a working URL, point it at a relevant replacement, or remove it.

Related checks

To check a single URL's status code, use the HTTP Status Checker.
To see where a moved link now leads, use the Redirect Checker.

The checker downloads the page, collects the links on it and requests up to 15 of them, waiting up to 6 seconds for each one. A link is reported as broken when it does not end in a successful response - a 404 or other 4xx/5xx status, or no response at all. Some large sites block or rate-limit automated requests, so confirm an occasional 403 or timeout in your browser before removing the link. To audit a whole site, check your most important pages one at a time. JustChecker tracks your website's health continuously, catching problems before they affect your visitors.
