About broken links
Broken links — links that return a 404 or error — frustrate visitors and waste crawl budget, and a page riddled with them signals neglect to search engines. They creep in as external sites remove pages or internal URLs change.
This finder fetches the page, gathers every link, and checks each with a lightweight HEAD request to see whether it still resolves. It reports the broken ones with their status codes so you can fix or remove them. Because some servers block HEAD or bot traffic, double-check flagged links in a browser before deleting them.
