Broken Link Checker helps SEO and content teams detect and prioritize broken URLs in bulk by analyzing pasted link rows with status codes and source-page context. You provide rows in a simple format, run one-click analysis, and instantly receive categorized counts for working links, redirects, broken links, and invalid entries. This addresses a common maintenance pain point where hidden 404/5xx links damage user experience, crawl efficiency, and trust signals across large content libraries. The tool includes a sample input for quick onboarding and structured row output for immediate triage workflows. For advanced optimization, an optional premium AI Assistant produces a prioritized remediation plan based on broken-link volume and redirect load, helping teams sequence fixes efficiently while keeping AI processing backend-executed and explicitly user-triggered.
Note: AI can make mistakes, so please double-check it.
Generate a prioritized remediation plan from broken and redirected link counts.
Instantly classify OK, redirect, and broken links from bulk row input for rapid SEO cleanup triage.
Common questions about this tool
Paste link rows in url|statusCode|sourcePage format and run Check broken links. The tool groups results by status type and shows row-level output for fast triage.
Links with status codes 400 and above are treated as broken in this checker. Redirects (3xx) and valid responses (2xx) are separated so you can prioritize real failures first.
Yes. Redirect rows are reported separately so you can identify chains and update links to final destinations where needed.
Use one row per line with pipe-separated fields: URL | status code | source page. This structure enables accurate parsing and summary metrics.
Analyze with AI is an optional premium feature that generates a prioritized fix plan from your broken and redirect counts. It requires explicit user action and does not run automatically.
Collect link rows with status codes, paste them into the checker, and run analysis. The tool highlights broken entries immediately and separates redirects from valid links. This gives you a fast starting point for remediation.
Use the broken-link count and row list to isolate 404 and other error URLs first. Then map each broken URL to either a replacement destination or content update task. Re-run checks after fixes to confirm resolution.
Start with high-traffic source pages and critical conversion paths, then address remaining errors by volume. The tool provides categorized counts to guide sequencing. Analyze with AI can further prioritize action order.
Use one line per link in url|statusCode|sourcePage format. Keep values clean and include source context when possible for easier triage assignment. Sample Input shows the expected structure.
Run recurring audits using consistent row formatting and compare category totals between periods. Monitor broken and redirect counts separately to spot regressions. Keep a simple changelog for completed fixes.

Broken Link Checker helps teams identify and prioritize dead links before they hurt user experience and SEO performance. If you are searching for "how to find broken links," "bulk 404 checker," or "broken link audit workflow," this tool provides a fast, repeatable process.
You paste link rows with status-code context, run analysis, and get immediate counts for valid links, redirects, broken links, and invalid entries. The output is structured for direct cleanup planning.
Broken links reduce trust, interrupt navigation, and create crawl inefficiencies that can weaken site quality signals over time. Redirect-heavy pages also create friction and diluted link flow. Teams need a clear way to separate true failures from manageable redirects quickly.
This tool addresses that pain point by converting raw link rows into actionable categories and row-level evidence.
The must-have feature is one-click status classification from bulk rows into OK, redirect, broken, and invalid buckets. This solves the largest operational bottleneck in link maintenance: triaging where to fix first without manually sorting every URL.
It is ideal for recurring audits across blogs, resource centers, and support libraries.
| Metric | Meaning | Typical action |
|---|---|---|
| OK links | 2xx responses | No immediate fix required |
| Redirect links | 3xx responses | Consider updating links to final URL |
| Broken links | 4xx/5xx responses | Fix, replace, or remove quickly |
| Invalid rows | Malformed or missing values | Clean data and re-check |
This gives teams immediate operational clarity for cleanup sprints.
After core analysis, Analyze with AI creates a prioritized remediation plan based on broken-link volume and redirect load. It helps decide sequence, ownership, and quick wins for higher-impact pages first.
The AI step is optional and requires explicit user action. It does not run automatically.
These align with intents like "how to fix broken links for SEO" and "link maintenance checklist for websites."
This implementation analyzes user-provided rows and does not crawl a live site automatically. It is designed as a fast analysis layer on top of your exported URL-status data.
For best results, ensure status-code inputs are accurate and gathered from reliable scans.
Broken Link Checker provides a practical foundation for reliable link hygiene in ongoing SEO operations.
