Why use this tool?

In-depth Analysis & Guidance

A Broken Link (also known as a Dead Link) is a hyperlink that points to a webpage or server that is no longer available. This usually results in a 404 Not Found error.

User Experience

Broken links create a 'dead end', leading to higher bounce rates and loss of trust.

Crawl Budget

Search engines have a limited 'crawl budget'. Wasting it on 404s prevents your good pages from being indexed.
