Scan any page for broken links and images. Every link is checked for 404s, server errors and redirects, with the link text so you can find and fix it fast.
| Link | Link text | Type | Status |
|---|
Links break all the time. Pages get deleted, URLs change and other websites go offline. Broken links frustrate visitors, make your site look neglected and send link value to dead ends. This checker reads the page, tests each link and image, and shows the status code with the link text, so you know exactly which link to fix.
| Status | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| 200 OK | The link works | None |
| 301 or 308 | Moved for good | Update the link to the new URL |
| 302 or 307 | Moved for now | Usually fine, check it is on purpose |
| 404 or 410 | Page not found or gone | Fix or remove the link |
| 403 | Access blocked | Often a site blocking bots. Check in a browser. |
| 5xx | Server error | Check again later |
