Broken Link Spot-Check
Run a focused broken-link review on a page and inspect up to 20 extracted links for response problems that may need correction.
What this tool checks
Links Found on the Page
Extracts and checks up to 20 static HTML links from the submitted page so you can quickly review a representative set of destinations.
HTTP Response Status
Checks each extracted destination for responses such as 404, 500, and other status outcomes that can indicate an unavailable or failing target.
Link Condition
Separates responding links from links that return an error or otherwise fail the check, giving you a practical list for manual follow-up.
Why Broken Links Deserve Attention
Broken links can interrupt navigation, send readers to unavailable resources, and create avoidable maintenance problems. A spot-check helps you identify suspect destinations so you can confirm whether a link should be corrected, replaced, redirected, or removed without treating every failed request as evidence of a broader SEO problem.
Common issues this tool detects
A link may still point to a page that has been deleted or is no longer available at its previous location.
A malformed or incorrectly entered address can send users and crawlers to a destination that does not exist.
Third-party publishers can move, rename, restrict, or remove content after you originally linked to it.
Frequently asked questions
How many links are checked?
The spot-check reviews up to 20 links extracted from the page, making it useful for a quick inspection rather than a complete site-wide crawl.
What about JavaScript links?
The check extracts static HTML links. Destinations created only after JavaScript rendering may not appear in the extracted set, so pages that rely heavily on client-side rendering can require separate verification.
