Broken Link Checker
Dead links leak authority, frustrate visitors and waste crawl budget — and on other people's sites they are your link building opportunity. Paste a URL and get every broken link on the page, verified live with real HTTP statuses.
A page, scanned link by link
The scanner sweeps down the page and probes every link it meets. Green survives, red goes straight to your fix list.
Dead links cost more than they look
Every broken internal link wastes crawl budget and dead-ends the link equity your pages pass around.
A user hitting a broken reference rarely tries a second link — they hit Back and land on your competitor.
Broken outbound links on OTHER sites are free link building inventory — if you can find them faster than the next pitch.
One scan, every link verified
Every anchor on the page checked live with redirects followed — your rot and their opportunities in one pass.
OK, broken, dead domain — and "skipped" for bot-protected targets instead of a guess you cannot act on.
Scan a prospect's resource page, collect its dead references, pitch your live replacement. Classic, effective, fast.
The full verdict list in CSV — hand it to a developer or feed your outreach queue.

FAQ
Both. Every <a href> on the page is extracted and verified: internal links catch your own rot (moved posts, renamed categories), outbound links catch dead references — the raw material for broken link building outreach.
Each link is requested live with redirects followed. Some sites (LinkedIn, Facebook and other bot-blockers) refuse automated checks — we mark those as "skipped" instead of guessing, so a "broken" verdict in your report is one you can act on with confidence.
You find a page that links to a dead resource, recreate (or already have) similar content, and email the webmaster suggesting your live link as a replacement. It works because you are helping them fix an error, not asking a favor. This tool finds those dead links; our VLookup and Link Checker cover the rest of the pipeline.
The tool scans one page per run so results stay fast and readable. For a whole-site crawl with broken links, redirects and duplicate content in one report, use our Site Audit — it walks up to 500 pages in one go.
