Broken Links Agent

The crawl cap depends on the plan: up to 25 pages on Free, 100 on Pro, and 500 on Agency. The report covers links found within the completed crawl, so it may not represent every page or link on a larger site.

Yes, with limits. The analyzer attempts an HTTP HEAD request, with a GET fallback when HEAD is not allowed, for up to 50 unique external destinations. Timeouts, refusals, and blocked requests are warnings because they do not prove that a page is unavailable to normal visitors.

A broken destination can interrupt a task, hide useful information, or prevent crawlers from following a path. Impact depends on the source page, destination, link purpose, alternatives, and whether the failure is temporary. The report does not predict rankings or conversion effects.

Yes. An initial guest scan is available without an account. A free account includes 5 scans per month; Pro and Agency plans include unlimited scans. Crawl time varies with site size, response times, and external checks.

This web-based audit uses the pages collected within your plan’s crawl cap and performs bounded external checks. A configurable desktop or enterprise crawler may cover larger sites, custom authentication, rendering settings, retry policies, and deeper link validation.

Links explicitly reported as broken by the crawler and checked external destinations returning 4xx or 5xx responses are listed as broken. Redirect responses, placeholder patterns, unverified internal targets, timeouts, refusals, and blocked requests are listed for review. Confirm important failures manually before removing or redirecting a URL.
