Frequently Asked Questions
Essential answers to technical ranking & search indexing questions.
Does the broken link checker scan external links?
Yes. Both same-origin and outbound links from the crawl sample are candidates; dead destinations are flagged with status codes when fetchable.
How many links does it check?
It crawls a limited set of pages, then checks up to about 40 unique links for cost control. Large sites need multiple seed URLs or deeper tooling.
Are redirect chains fully mapped?
The checker focuses on broken/unreachable responses (4xx/5xx/failures). Use sitemap validation and canonical checks for broader redirect hygiene.
Do I need site access or login?
No. It fetches public URLs only. Links behind authentication or bot blocks may appear unreachable.
Should I fix broken links before a migration?
Yes. Audit before and after migrations to catch 404s that waste crawl budget and hurt UX.
Is AI used in the broken link report?
No. Broken status and recommendations are deterministic from HTTP fetch results.
