Find Broken Links Before Google Does
Scan any website for broken links, dead links and 404 errors. Free, no registration and no captcha, with live results showing the page and the anchor text for every broken link.
Built by Mementor. Free for 250 pages per scan.
How It Works
From a URL to a fixed website in three steps.
Paste the URL
Any domain or single page. No registration, no installation.
We Crawl the Pages
The tool follows internal links and sitemap.xml, and tests every link it finds, internal and external.
Fix What Is Broken
Every broken link is reported with its status code, the page it sits on and the anchor text, so you find it straight away.
What It Takes to Keep Links Healthy
Follows sitemap.xml
The tool reads your sitemap, so it does not miss pages that are not linked internally.
Exclude Patterns
Skip staging paths, tag archives or any URL pattern you do not want scanned.
Live Results
You see broken links as they are found. No waiting for the whole scan to finish.
Shareable Reports
Send the report to your developer or client. Whoever opens it needs no login.
Soft 404s and SSL
We catch pages that pretend to exist, and certificates that are not in order.
Images, Scripts and Documents
Not just pages: images, JavaScript and links to PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint are checked too.

Scan straight from your dashboard with the plugin, and fix or redirect broken links without leaving wp-admin or the Shopify admin.
