Check links on a URL you enter after signing in. Results show status (broken / redirect / working), internal vs external, anchor, destination, and final URL when redirected. The source page is the URL tested. This tester does not include CSV export or always-on monitoring.
The Broken Links Tester is a signed-in tool that checks links on a URL you enter. Columns include status (broken / redirect / working), internal vs external, anchor, and destination (plus final URL on redirects). Source page = the tested URL. It does not offer CSV export or always-on monitoring. The linksMonitoring allotment is separate backlink monitoring capacity.
Broken links can frustrate visitors, waste crawl paths, weaken trust, and make a website feel outdated. For small business SEO, they are one of the practical issues worth fixing as part of regular maintenance.
Finding broken links manually across many pages can take a lot of time. A website link checker helps you find broken links faster, supports better user experience, and may help protect SEO health when link issues are caught early.
Combine link checks with audits from the homepage and the SEO tools hub. Continuous backlink monitoring capacity is a separate product allotment — not this tester.
Enter a URL while signed in. Results cover the links found on that page — not a site-wide continuous monitor.
The URL you enter to run the tester — every row is a link found on that page.
Target URL, final URL on redirects, and HTTP status when returned (e.g. 404, 403, 5xx in recommendations).
Internal vs external, check status (broken / redirect / working), plus recommended next step in plain language.
