What Is a Broken Link?
A broken link is a hyperlink that no longer leads to the intended webpage. This usually happens when a page is deleted, moved without a redirect, renamed, or when the server fails to respond. Broken links can exist across blog posts, navigation menus, footers, and internal references, often going unnoticed for long periods.
Why Broken Links Harm SEO and User Experience
Search engines aim to provide users with reliable and well-maintained websites. When a site contains multiple broken links, it signals poor maintenance and low content quality. Visitors who encounter broken links are more likely to leave the website, increasing bounce rates and reducing engagement.
Broken links can cause:
- Reduced search engine rankings
- Poor user navigation and trust
- Wasted crawl budget for search engines
- Loss of internal link value
- Negative impact on overall site quality
How the ScrutnLearn Broken Link Checker Works
The ScrutnLearn Broken Link Checker scans your website by crawling internal pages and checking each internal link for its HTTP response status. The tool identifies links that return errors or fail to load and organizes them into a detailed report that is easy to review and export.
- Crawling internal pages within the same domain
- Checking link response status in real time
- Grouping identical broken links together
- Tracking the pages where broken links appear
Export and Download Broken Link Reports
After the scan is completed, you can export the broken link data to review or share with your team. Each CSV report includes the broken URL, error status, number of occurrences, and the pages where the link was found.
