Important FAQs
Why Are Broken Links a Problem?
A broken link, also known as a dead link, is a hyperlink that no longer works because it points to a page that has been moved, deleted or renamed.
Broken links can also happen when the link URL was typed incorrectly, or when the link points to a media element that is no longer available.
Why does this matter? Well, the consequences are more serious than just a few confused visitors hitting a dead end. Unresolved broken backlinks can harm your SEO by causing you to lose valuable referral traffic, and they can also signal to Google that your website isn’t up to par.
That’s why we built this tool – so you can spot the broken links before they do any damage to your website’s reputation and fix them promptly.
How to Fix Broken Links? Don’t Worry – It’s Easy!
When the Broken Backlink Checker finds a broken link, you’ve got a couple of options to fix it.
- Update the URL: If you can get the source website to update the broken URL, that’s the easiest fix.
- 301 Redirect: You can also set up a 301 redirect from the broken URL to the correct page on your site – so you can recover the traffic and preserve the SEO value.
Why Isn’t My Fixed Link Showing Up in the Report?
Don’t panic! It can take a few days to several months for the service to re-index a link that has been fixed, depending on factors like Page Rank and Domain Rank. Higher authority sites get scanned faster, while lower authority or spammy sites take longer.
But there’s no need to worry. The link will update once it’s crawled again, so just keep checking back!
