Yes, it's completely free - no signup, no credit card, and no limits on pages, URLs, or crawl depth. You can run a full unlimited broken link scan without hitting a paywall.

No. It runs entirely online in your browser. No plugin, browser extension, download, or account is required. Just enter your website URL and start scanning.

No. It's built as an unlimited website auditor with no artificial cap on page count or recursive crawl depth, whether your site has 10 pages or 10,000.

It crawls your site and checks every internal and external link, flagging dead links, broken URLs, redirect chains, and error status codes (like 404s and 5xx server errors). It uses a smart HEAD-then-GET check with automatic retry/backoff on rate-limited (429) responses, so results stay accurate even on sites with strict server rules.

The report reflects the real HTTP status code returned by each link at scan time (200, 404, 403, 500, etc.) rather than a cached guess, so you're seeing the live state of your links. We make every effort to produce accurate output, however if you notice any issues, please report and we will be happy to fix them.

Both. The crawler follows internal links (within your own site) and external links (pointing to other domains), flagging errors on either side.

Each flagged link includes its status code and what it means for example, 404 (page no longer exists), 500 (server error), 403 (forbidden/no access), a timeout (page too slow or unreachable), or a redirect chain (link hopping through multiple redirects before landing).

Yes — it's robots.txt aware, meaning it can optionally respect the crawl-disallow rules set in a site's robots.txt file, so the scan stays within the boundaries the site owner has defined.

Yes. You can target one specific URL, or scan the whole domain for a full site-wide audit — the crawler follows links automatically from your starting URL, so there's no need to submit a manual list of pages.

It depends on site size and link count. Because results stream in real time, you'll see broken links flagged as they're found rather than waiting for the whole crawl to finish before seeing anything.

Yes, the tool supports exporting your results so you can save a report for record-keeping, share it with a team, or track fixes over time.

Yes. Since it crawls your live site by URL rather than reading platform-specific code, it works on WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, or a custom-built site — anywhere your pages are publicly reachable.

Yes. Since it scans unlimited pages and crawl depth, it's suited to full technical SEO audits across an entire domain, not just a single-page spot check.

Yes. Site migrations are one of the most common causes of broken internal links, since old paths often don't get redirected properly. Running a full crawl after a migration surfaces links still pointing to outdated or missing URLs.

Website owners and bloggers checking their own site's health, SEO professionals and agencies running audits for clients, and developers doing QA checks on link integrity before or after a release.

Yes. Broken links create a poor user experience and can waste crawl budget for search engines, which is why checking for them is a standard part of any SEO audit. Fixing them helps keep your pages properly indexed and easy for both users and search engines to navigate.

Most commonly: a page gets deleted, a URL changes without a redirect, the destination site goes offline, or there's a typo in the link — all of which typically surface as 404s or other error responses.

Depending on the cause: update the link to the page's new URL, add a redirect if the old page is gone for good, remove the link if there's no suitable replacement, swap in another relevant source, or correct a typo. After fixing, re-run the scan to confirm the link now resolves.

A monthly check is a reasonable baseline. If you publish or update content frequently, re-scan after big changes — new pages, migrations, redesigns — since links break silently over time as pages get moved or removed elsewhere on the web.
