    Default How to find broken links

    Based in this question, thought this should be it's own thread so as not to take it off topic

    There are a number of ways to discover broken links, having nothing to do with whether the site is popular or not.

    What comes to mind as the 2 very popular choices are Screaming Frog and Xenu. The reports you can get from either of these will help you find broken links, missing images, pages that have issues with titles or image alt tags and many more things.

    Main drawback with screaming frog is that it is limited to a total of 500 links on the free version, but if you like the software it is not hugely expensive.

    Xenu is free without limitation, but it is a bit more old school in it's report layouts etc.

    Both of these are very thorough and it just takes a bit if study when first learning how to use them to get the best advantage out of their use.

    I am sure there are other things to use, some that may have additional functions.

    Ahrefs can do this as part of their standard data (ie: you don't need to specifically crawl a site to find them).

    I'd second "Screaming frog" and Ahrefs. probably if you can (and are willing to) pay more - Ahrefs would be a better option as it comes with a lot of cool useful tools. If you have a small website and / or want to pay less - Screaming frog would be a good option to go with.

    I use the paid versions of the Screaming Frog and Ahrefs tools. For me these are the most convenient tools. I use Screaming Frog in cases where I need basic analysis, and Ahrevs when I need a more detailed link report.

    I recommend using deadlinkchecker.com. It's free and simple to use.
    UK Casino Club is not available only in the UK. Check out also Quatro Casino, Casino Classic, Yukon Gold Casino, Zodiac Casino, Captain Cooks Casino, Villento Casino, iWild Casino and Casino Share Casino.

    Recommend installing broken link checker in wordpress, it will show you all your broken links, keep track of all your links and let you easily fix the issue.

    Problem with many wp broken link "checkers" is they follow your affiliate links regularly which will askew your stats. Try to look for those that allow limits by folder or url so you can reduce this from happening.

    Good point and surely a good recommended practice.
    Some of the link checkers will ignore that and follow them anyway. Not sure if any of the ones members have been listing do, so it never hurts to keep that in mind.

    The original question was about finding broken links on other sites, not your own.

    Don't create 100,000 that make no sense or coherence and are only for the search engine. Some people continually publish new content because they feel the pressures of the search engine. By publishing less but better and having fewer solid pages, this is easier to manage and the result is no broken links. It's easier to make a cohesive site with a network of internal links that tie the site together.

    Of course, it all depends on the specifics of the site.

    You can use screaming frog or netpicker to scan the site.

    Besides finding broken links it will help you with seo optimization recommendations
