Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 404 error?
A 404 Not Found error means the server could not find the requested webpage. This often happens if the page was moved or deleted without a redirect.
Does this tool check all pages on my site?
No, this is a single-page analyzer. It scans only the specific URL you enter and checks the links found on that page.
What is an 'Internal' vs 'External' link?
Internal links point to other pages on the same domain (your website). External links point to completely different websites.
Why are some links marked as Error but work in my browser?
Some websites block automated bots (like our scanner) with firewalls (403 Forbidden). These links might work fine for human users.
How many links does this tool check?
To ensure fast results without overloading your server or ours, this free tool checks the first 50 links found on the page.
Results are generated in real-time. For best accuracy, verify critical issues manually.
