FAQ
Common questions
Do broken links really hurt SEO?
Yes, in two ways: crawlers waste budget on dead ends and may devalue pages full of rot, and users who hit 404s bounce — an engagement signal Google reads. Broken links also leak accumulated link equity. Fixing them is among the cheapest SEO maintenance there is.
How many pages does this tool crawl?
The free scan samples up to a dozen pages and around 120 links from your homepage outward, which catches most problems on small business sites. Larger sites need a full crawl — that's included in our website care plans, along with the fixes.
A link shows as broken but works in my browser — why?
Some sites block automated checkers with bot protection, so a working page can report as unreachable from our server. Status \u201cunreachable\u201d deserves a manual check; a hard 404 or 410 is almost always genuinely dead.
