If you have a website or blog, most likely you have pages with broken links. Broken links are annoying to your visitors and they give the appearance that your site is not well-maintained. In addition, broken links can have a negative impact on your search engine rankings as search engine bots will stop crawling pages with invalid links. It is important to spend some time cleaning house and sifting through the pages of your site to check for broken links.
To minimize the amount of time it takes to test each and every link on your site, try using this nifty broken link checker tool. It is a very simple, useful tool in which you input the URL and wait a few minutes for the results to display.
When it’s done running, good links will display in a green box, while possible broken links will display in a pink box. Check out the links in the pink box, fix them, and keep your site ranking high. Sound easy enough?
