Frequently asked questions
What is a broken link?
A broken link points to a page or file that no longer works, usually returning a 404 Not Found error, a server error, or a domain that no longer exists.
Do broken links hurt SEO?
Yes. They waste crawl budget, stop link value from flowing through your site and frustrate visitors. Fixing them improves user experience and helps search engines crawl your pages.
Why are some links marked "could not verify"?
Some websites block automated checks and answer with 403 or 429 errors, even though the page works in a browser. Open those links yourself to confirm.
How do I fix a broken link?
Update the link to the correct URL, point it to a relevant live page, or remove it. For pages you deleted on your own site, add a 301 redirect to the closest replacement.
