Frequently asked
questions
A dead link (or broken link) is a hyperlink that leads to a page that no longer exists, returning a 404 Not Found or similar error. Dead links hurt user experience and can negatively affect SEO by wasting crawl budget and reducing PageRank flow.
The checker crawls your website starting from the URL you enter, following internal links to discover pages (up to 50). It then sends HTTP HEAD requests to every link found — both internal and external — and reports the status code returned.
2xx = OK (link works), 3xx = Redirect (link redirects elsewhere), 4xx = Broken (404 Not Found is the most common), 5xx = Server Error, Timeout = the server took too long to respond, Error = DNS failure or connection refused.
Yes. The crawler discovers links on your internal pages and checks all of them — including links to external websites. External broken links are flagged the same way as internal ones.
Some servers block automated requests or return 403 Forbidden to bots. A link may appear broken here but work fine in a browser. Always verify flagged links manually before removing them.
