Link Checker

A Link Checker crawls a web page and tests every hyperlink it finds — internal and external — to verify the destination responds with a successful HTTP status code. Broken or redirected links degrade user experience, waste crawl budget, and signal poor site maintenance to search engines.

Our free Link Checker fetches any URL, extracts all anchor tags, and reports the HTTP status of each link so you can identify and fix problems quickly.

The checker classifies every link by its HTTP response:

• 200 OK — link is healthy
• 301 / 302 Redirect — link destination has moved; update the href to the final URL
• 404 Not Found — page does not exist; remove or replace the link
• 403 Forbidden — server is blocking access; may be a false positive for authenticated pages
• 5xx Server Error — destination site is down or misconfigured
• Timeout — server did not respond within the check window

Enter a full page URL and click Check. The tool retrieves the page and tests each link in turn, returning a sortable table of link URL, anchor text, link type (internal/external), and HTTP status. Filter by status code to focus on broken links first.

Every broken outbound link is a poor user experience that erodes trust. Internally, broken links prevent Googlebot from crawling important pages and dilute PageRank distribution. Regular link audits — especially after site migrations, CMS updates, or content deletions — are essential hygiene for any website. Use the Broken Link Checker for a dedicated broken-links-only report.

Does the tool check links on linked pages too (deep crawl)?
The free tool checks all links on the single URL you enter. For site-wide crawls, use a dedicated crawler like Screaming Frog.

Can I check external links?
Yes — the checker tests both internal and external links found on the page.

Is this link checker free?
Yes, completely free with no account required.
