Internal broken links

Why does this matter?

Broken links disrupt user experience and waste crawl budget. Google follows links leading to 404 pages and may see that as a sign of poor site quality.

How to fix it?

Regularly scan your website for broken links. Fix them by using the correct URL or setting up a redirect. Remove links to pages that have been permanently deleted.

This check scores from 0 to 100. Below 50 is a fail, 50 to 89 is a warning, 90 or above is good. After each crawl you see the score per page in your report, with a short note on what we found.
