The Easiest Way to find all broken links (404 errors) on the web page. Find more! Save more!
When you are editing a content that has lots of links, wouldn't it be handy to quickly check that all the links on the page are working?
'Broken Link Checker' scans your page or the whole site and provides a broken links report within a few minutes.
The report is generated directly without installing and running any additional program files.
Then 'Broken Link Checker' highlights which links are functioning and which ones are broken.
In addition to the website internal links check, we analyze the external links availability.
If the site contains at least one external link (nofollow or dofollow) with 404 error, it is shown in the report.
The report contains link to page where 404 error was found, so you can fix it immediately.
'Broken Link Checker' is an extension developed primarily for web designers, developers and content editors.

# WHY TO CHECK YOUR BROKEN AND DEAD PAGES
There are several factors that can improve the "visibility" of your page and influence its ranking in Google and other search engines.
An important aspect of search engine optimization is work with content; the promotion success depends on content quality and quantity.
Many blogs, articles and services offer guides and recommendations on content organization, keyword selection and compilation of semantic core.
However, the topics of monitoring and tracking the content availability are mostly overlooked.
# WHY BROKEN LINKS CAN DAMAGE YOUR ONLINE BUSINESS
## CUSTOMER ASPECT
A potential client visits the site to get some information and cannot find it because the page is not available.
At best, customer goes to other pages on the site, and at worst just leaves the site.
Your bounce rate increases and the client is lost.
## SEARCH ENGINE VISIBILITY
If a site contains too many pages with a response code "404", it can have a negative impact on your website's ranking in major search engines.
The entire site or individual pages may receive a Google penalty, site rankings can fall, and the number of visits will be reduced.
## LOSING BACKLINKS
The number of incoming links to your website impacts search engine ranking.
Any website owner knows how difficult it is to get quality links and references.
At the same time, not enough attention is given to monitoring the availability of external linked pages.
## BROKEN LINKS = LOST OPPORTUNITIES
Creating and managing website content is a complex process, which is always associated with many manual adjustments.
Multiple site editors, frequent updates, the need for regular content updating - all these processes increase probability of various errors.
The most important errors associate with the creation and addition of non-existing pages or broken links.
Despite the fact that the link verification is an obvious need, most webmasters and site owners do not give enough attention to this issue or just ignore it.
They lose opportunities to promote their own site because of this very trivial problem.
## WHY BROKEN LINKS ARE BAD?
First of all, they leave a bad feeling about your company or product and you can lose a potential customer.
You should respect customers and display only working content!
Also, broken links make your site indexing by search engines more complicated, and, therefore,
reduce the possibility of the correct ranking of your website.
# YOUR BROKEN LINKS ARE YOUR COMPETITORS’ BENEFITS
Your broken links are opportunities for other webmasters to raise their website rating at your expense.
The link building due to non-existent pages (404 error) and dead links is very popular among webmasters.
Many manuals and tools were created for broken links search and further replacement with their own links.
This is a simple and free link building in a legal way (white hat seo).
If you do not care about your broken links, others do.
Perhaps, while you read this text, other webmasters are already hunting for your dead links.
Do not give them a chance!

doesn't work well
This extension deleted entire pages from my site. Deleted immediately.
Просят деньги за результат проверки, переводит на свой сайт.
Checks broken links on a site, not broken bookmark links.
needs two additional features: - cancel/stop further link checking - save previous results somewhere so you can find them later again without having to re-crawl the page again
Leider macht diese Erweiterung nicht mehr das was sie einmal konnte! Es werden keine Fehlermeldungen mehr angezeigt. Man kann die fehlerhaften Links nur mehr anhand der grauen Farbmarkierung erkennen. Schade, denn diese App war wirklich hilfreich. Ich habe jetzt eine weit bessere App gefunden und werde dies deinstallieren.
Needs some whitelist/blacklist features to control areas of the page to ignore or target, maybe with CSS selectors. Using it on a site that requires auth, the logout link prevents proper usage of this extension.
Better than google insights! It gives you the two vital information: 1) What is broken 2) On which page It also interacts with the pages, highlighting you all the links. THANKS!
Bizarrely every time I use it to check links on one of my webpages my site breaks and goes down for 10 min. Used to work well before. Not even sure how this is breaking my site.
under average! doesn't go in depth on my website
This extension does not have option to ignore "somedomain.com"
תוסף מעולה !
It works great
OMG 🤯 Where has this extension been my whole life? 😍😍😍
Finally one that works! I've uninstalled three other link checkers for missing obvious links. so far this combined with https://www.brokenlinkcheck.com is working great.
Highlighting feature is especially useful to present to people with little web dev. knowledge who need to review changes.
A very useful tool, thanks!
This saved me a ton of time checking one of my pages for broken links. I do wish there were a 'scroll to link' option. The list of broken links the extension displays are clickable, but they actually open the dead link which is hardly a useful feature. I'd rather have it scroll there.
I'm sure this extension is great for web development so it definitely doesn't deserve a bad review, but I work in email marketing so it logs me out of my email every time I use it. Does anyone know of any that may be useful for checking email links specifically?
It´s Ok, use it wisely...
it found about 130 broken links and I had to click on each link and waste my time just to find out that all those link were working.
Using it since from one year and it always gives me the right results
Only reports broken a href links. Did not report broken URLs in image tags or <link> tags. Cannot crawl an entire site from within the browser, instead redirects to their website tool, so cannot crawl intranet pages. Positive: can crawl https
Awesome tool
Requires you to click the extension for it to work on the web page. The links highlighted on the web page fill up the page and distract the user from their web experience. It also sometimes reports dead links that work.
It checked two pages on the site and then said I couldn't use it again without paying. I didn't show results in detail. Worthless to me.
I really like it!
Unfortunately doesn't work at all. Tried using their service via their website and got great results. It's a shame that the extension doesn't work =/
it is useful.
Doesn't work on local pages.
Doesn't work at all.
SOMEONE THEFTING FROM ME AND KEEP BREAKING MY LINK
Keine Reaktion auf Click auf das Symbol in der Toolbar.
Since most website navigation elements are on the top right-hand of the page, it would be helpful if the reporting box could be moved since it's in the way.
Did what it says on the package, but doesn't seem to have a blacklist which meant I was logged out of the site I was checking on each run.
The best program, used it for SharePoint.
the icon appears in the toolbar, but it only worked 1 or 2 times.
Depois de fazer uma analize meu site ficou off com a mensagem Error establishing a database connection, não recomendo usar
