Broken Link Checker

Check a page for broken outbound links.

Enter a URL to check its outbound links for broken (404 or unreachable) destinations - up to 15 links per scan.

Checks up to 15 outbound links found on the page.

JustChecker tracks your website's health continuously, catching problems before they affect your visitors.

What Is the Broken Link Checker?

It loads a page, collects its links and requests each one to find links that return errors such as 404 or fail to connect. Broken links frustrate visitors and waste search engine crawl budget.

When to Use It

  • After deleting or moving pages.
  • When reviewing older blog posts that link to external sites.

How to Use It

  1. Enter the page URL.
  2. Review links marked as broken and their status codes.

Understanding the Result

404 and 410 mean the target no longer exists - update or remove the link. 5xx errors may be temporary. Some sites return 403 to automated checkers even though the link works in a browser.

Limitations

To keep checks fast, the first 15 links on the page are tested, and only that single page is scanned, not the whole site. Anchor, mailto: and tel: links are skipped.

Frequently Asked Questions

This keeps the check fast and lightweight for everyone using the free tool. For a full-site link audit, consider running this on your most important pages individually.

Any link that doesn't respond with a successful (2xx or 3xx) HTTP status - including 404 Not Found, 500 server errors, or links that time out entirely.

No - it checks the outbound links found on the single page you enter, not every page on the site.
