Broken links hurt the experience and trust: for users and for the engines that evaluate your site.
What you enter
The home page URL.
What you get
- A score (0-100).
- How many links were found and checked.
- The number of broken links (4xx/5xx errors) and problematic redirects (redirect chains that are too long).
- By providing your email, you receive a downloadable report (PDF/CSV) sent in the background.
How to use it well
Run it periodically: links break over time (pages move, external sites close). Fix broken internal links and chained redirects first.
Limits
To stay fast and free, it scans the home plus a sample of internal pages, not the entire site. For a full, recurring crawl you'll want dedicated tools.
Does it scan the whole site?
No: to stay fast it checks the home and a sample of internal links. It gives you a reliable picture of link health without an exhaustive crawl.
