What is a broken link checker?

A broken link checker scans links on a page or sitemap and reports HTTP status codes, redirects, and failures. Helps fix SEO and user-experience issues before launch.

Paste HTML or fetch a page URL, extract internal and external links, then test HTTP status codes from your browser (up to 20 unique URLs). This is a page-level checker for audits—not a substitute for Google Search Console’s full-site crawl reports. Cross-origin sites may block some checks.

How to use this tool

1. Paste HTML or enter a page URL. 2. Run extraction. 3. Review status results. 4. Fix or redirect broken links. 5. Re-check after deploy. Use Search Console for sitewide crawl coverage; this tool is page-scoped.

Worked example

Example 1: Blog post with an old /pricing link returning 404. Example 2: External docs URL returning 403 from the browser—verify with a server-side monitor if critical.

When to use this

  • QA a page before publish.
  • Auditing after a URL migration.
  • Catching nav/footer dead links.
  • Spot-checking partner URLs.
  • Complementing Search Console coverage reports.

Common examples

  • 404 on an old blog CTA after a URL migration.
  • External docs link blocked by CORS—verify separately.
  • Nav mega-menu link to a retired category page.
  • Mixed http→https link still 301-chaining.
  • Paste HTML when live fetch is blocked.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting a full-site Google crawl.
  • Ignoring the 20-URL cap.
  • Trusting browser-blocked 403s as definitive.
  • Not retesting after redirects ship.
  • Confusing with Google’s link report alone.

How it works

Extracts href links from page HTML (or a fetched URL) and requests status codes from your browser for up to 20 unique URLs. Reports 404/410 and other failures when reachable—CORS may block some hosts.

Limitations

Checks up to 20 unique URLs per run. Some sites block live checks from the browser—paste HTML when fetch fails. Status codes reflect what your browser can reach, not a full server crawl.

Privacy and file handling

Your data stays on your device and is not uploaded.

Formula or method

Unique hrefs are de-duplicated and capped. Status reflects browser-reachable responses, not Googlebot’s view of the whole site.

Important notice

Link checks run from your browser and may be blocked by site security or rate limits. Only the first 20 unique URLs are tested per run.
