Online Dead Link Checker
Why should you check for dead links on your website?
Broken links hurt your SEO ranking and cause your pages to drop in search engine results.
A 404 page degrades user experience and increases your website's bounce rate.
Regular link audits ensure the credibility and professionalism of your website.
Common use cases
- Website SEO audit
- Scan all your site's URLs to identify broken pages before they impact your organic search rankings.
- Site migration
- After a redesign or domain change, verify that all old URLs correctly redirect to the new pages.
- Backlink monitoring
- Check that inbound links pointing to your site are still active and don't return 404 errors.
- Content maintenance
- Regularly verify external links in your blog posts and resource pages to maintain reliable content.
How to use the dead link checker?
Paste your list of URLs into the input field, one address per line.
Click "Check" to start analyzing each URL.
Review the detailed report with HTTP status, response time and any errors, then export to CSV if needed.
Frequently asked questions about link checking
- How many URLs can I check at once?
- There is no strict limit, but for optimal performance, we recommend checking in batches of 50 to 100 URLs at a time.
- Does the tool detect 301 and 302 redirects?
- Yes, the tool identifies HTTP redirects (301, 302) and flags them distinctly in the report so you can fix them if needed.
- Why do some links show a CORS status?
- Some servers block requests from other domains. Our tool uses a server-side proxy to minimize this issue, but some highly restrictive sites may still block the check.
- Are internal and external links checked the same way?
- Yes, each URL is tested individually via an HTTP request, whether internal or external. The response status and load time are measured for every link.
- How often should I check my site's links?
- We recommend a monthly audit for sites with evolving content, and a check after every major content update or technical migration.
