About Broken Links Finder
Find and fix problems quickly!
This free Link Checker not only validates your site and tells you which web references on your pages are broken, but it will also show you where those broken links are in your HTML code, highlighting problematic tags. This distinguishing feature distinguishes our web domain checking service from other available problem detection tools by making it so simple for webmasters to find bad URLs and clean them up in no time.
It's never been easier to find and repair broken links!
Our online website validation tool only reports things that are truly broken, as opposed to other popular solutions that list both good and bad hyperlinks, making it difficult to understand and work with such "noisy" information. Furthermore, this free URL Checker tool analyzes the entire site - its web content as a whole, keeps track of issues already reported, and does not repeat the same invalid URL unless you specifically ask about it: this free URL Checker tool is very flexible!
Why is it so bad to have broken links?
404 and similar website errors are not only inconvenient; they can also cause serious harm to your online business and reputation!
Because of broken links, a website may:
Lose some of your current clientele (current users sooner or later will get frustrated enough with Page Not Found messages to never come back)
Problems acquiring new customers (due to dead weblinks, people will simply not be able to find the things/pages they are looking for).
Online, you can harm your reputation (most visitors consider errors like that to be a sign of laziness and disrespect to them)
Your website's ranking with major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing will suffer as a result.
All of this creates a problem so serious that people refer to it as "link rot": as you may already know, "rotten" weblink is just another name for the same "dead URL" thing.
What exactly are invalid hyperlinks?
With the expansion of web content, it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage relationships between individual webpages and keep track of weblinks within the site. Unfortunately, there are no perfect website integrity tools or services that can check and enforce proper page relationships, keep track of moved content / renamed webpages / added subdomains, and automatically update each corresponding URL.
As a result, some of your internal links become obsolete, stale, odd, dangling, and simply - dead because they no longer lead to valid resources. Modern content management systems (CMS) and blog software may exacerbate the problem even further by replicating the same internal broken links across numerous webpages generated dynamically, causing people to see 'Page Not Found' messages much more frequently. When your visitors try to access those missing resources, they will receive 404 error codes (or other unsuccessful HTTP responses).
Outbound references are even worse: the website you're linking to can change the names and locations of their pages at any time, breaking previously working backlinks. These external servers may be taken offline (temporarily or permanently), or their domain names may expire or be sold. Unfortunately, you have no control over such things, so the only viable solution would be to run regular sanity checks on every single outgoing reference to ensure it's still alive and not pointing to non-existent content.
Why do you require our online Link Checker?
Due to a lack of adequate problem detection tools (such as URL validators, web spiders, HTML crawlers, website health analyzers, and so on), determining which specific local and external (outbound) hyperlinks became dead returning 404 responses is extremely difficult. It's even more difficult to fix those because cleaning requires knowing the precise location of the broken linking tag in the HTML markup: without that, you'll have to sift through thousands of source lines to find the exact HREF (or another subtag) in your code that's causing the problem.
This is where our Online Spider tool truly shines: it will crawl your entire site, checking all pages for issues and detecting invalid webpage references on your website, letting you know exactly where to fix them! You will see a screen that contains page source and highlights the actual HTML tag containing the non-working url for each bad hyperlink found (both internal and outgoing), so you can correct the rot right away and eventually repair your blog very quickly. Your customers will no longer be irritated by 'Page Not Found' errors when they click your weblinks.
