Free Broken Link Checker for Websites

Check one page or scan up to 50 pages across your website to find broken internal and external links, redirects and unreachable destinations.

Scan Your Website for Broken Links

Choose a single-page check for a focused review or run a website scan across up to 50 same-domain pages. SEO Mentor collects the links it finds, checks unique destinations and reports the source page so you can locate and repair affected links more efficiently.

What the Broken Link Report Shows

The report identifies the HTTP status returned by each checked destination, whether the link is internal or external, redirects, unreachable destinations and the page or pages where each link was found. Duplicate destinations are checked once while their source pages are retained in the report.

Why Broken Links Matter

Broken internal links can interrupt navigation and leave useful content harder for visitors and crawlers to reach. Broken external references can reduce usability and trust. Redirect chains may also indicate links that should be updated to their final destination.

How to Fix a Broken Link

For an internal URL, restore the missing page, correct the link or use an appropriate permanent redirect when content has genuinely moved. For an external URL, update the reference to a working destination or remove it when the resource is no longer relevant.

Controlled Website Scanning

The website scan covers up to 50 pages on the submitted domain and uses bounded requests, timeouts and duplicate removal. This provides useful multi-page coverage while keeping the free checker responsive and protecting websites from excessive automated requests.

Free to Use Without an Account

Use the Broken Link Checker without registration, subscriptions or credit packs. Enter a public website or page URL, choose the scan type and review the results directly in your browser.

What does Website Scan check?

Website Scan crawls up to 50 same-site pages, collects link destinations and checks bounded sets of internal and external links for errors, redirects and unreachable responses. The report also records where affected links were found.

Why is the website scan limited to 50 pages?

Broken-link checking can create many outbound requests because every crawled page can contain dozens or hundreds of destinations. The limit keeps the free scan useful while controlling server load and abuse.

Should redirects be treated as broken links?

Not necessarily. A working redirect can be intentional, but repeated or unnecessary redirect hops are worth updating so internal links point directly to the preferred destination.

What is the difference between a broken link and a redirect?

A broken destination typically returns an error or cannot be reached, while a redirect sends the request to another URL. Redirects may be intentional but still deserve review when they create unnecessary hops.

Why can an external link appear unreachable even when it opens in my browser?

Some sites block automated requests, rate-limit traffic or respond differently by network and user-agent. Treat unreachable external results as items to verify rather than automatic proof that the destination is permanently broken.
