Broken Links
Scans the page for any broken internal or external links.
What is this check?
A broken link is a hyperlink that points to a page that no longer exists or has moved, resulting in a 404 Not Found error.
Why is it important?
Broken links create a frustrating user experience. From an SEO perspective, they waste 'link equity' (ranking power) and can prevent search engines from discovering other pages on your site.
What is the impact?
Too many broken links can signal to search engines that a site is poorly maintained, potentially harming its overall quality score and rankings.
