Website Checker / Broken links
Broken link checker: 404 errors on your website
We collect links from the home page and up to 9 other pages — up to 40 internal and 10 external — and check whether they open: 404 and 410 errors, server errors, domains that no longer exist.
What the colours mean
- OK. All checked links work.
- Needs attention. One internal link leads to a missing page, or several links to other sites no longer work.
- Problem. Several internal links lead to pages that do not exist.
Why it matters for your business
- A visitor who clicks and sees an error often does not come back.
- Broken links are a sign of a neglected site for Google.
- Links to someone else’s expired domain can be taken over and pointed at anything.
What you can do yourself
- Fix the address of each broken link or remove it.
- For deleted pages, set a 301 redirect to the closest live page.
- Re-check links after every site update — the Website Checker does it for free.

Common doubts
A few broken links — is that a big deal?
For a visitor, yes: they click, see an error and often leave. Google also treats it as a sign of a neglected site.
Why don’t you count some external sites?
Some sites refuse automated requests (codes 401, 403, 429). We cannot tell whether such a link works, so we honestly do not count it as broken.
