Dead Link Checker — Find Every Dead Link on Your Site

Dead links pose a serious threat to your website's SEO performance and credibility. When search engine crawlers encounter too many dead links, they interpret it as a sign of poor site maintenance, which can lead to lower search rankings. Each dead link on your site represents wasted crawl budget - search engines spend valuable resources crawling dead pages instead of discovering and indexing your new content.

For users, clicking a dead link is a frustrating experience that often results in an immediate bounce, increasing your site's bounce rate and signaling low quality to Google. Dead links also disrupt the flow of link equity (PageRank) through your website, preventing authority from reaching important pages. Our dead link checker scans your entire website, finding every dead link across all pages including navigation menus, content areas, footers, and sidebars.

We check both internal links (pointing to your own pages) and external links (pointing to other websites). Each dead link is reported with its HTTP status code, location on the page, and a recommended fix. Regular dead link checking should be part of every website maintenance routine to protect your SEO investment.
