FAQs
What is the difference between broken links and dead links?
Broken links are links on a page that point to non-existent pages. Dead links specifically refers to URLs in your sitemap that no longer return a 200 OK response - meaning pages that were once indexed by Google but are now gone.
Why does this tool need a sitemap?
Your sitemap represents the pages you want Google to index. Checking sitemap URLs directly shows you which of your own pages have gone dead - which is critical for SEO.
What should I do with dead pages?
Either restore the page, set up a 301 redirect to a relevant existing page, or remove the URL from your sitemap. Never leave dead URLs in your sitemap as they waste crawl budget.
How many URLs does this tool check?
Up to 50 URLs from your sitemap to keep results fast and reliable.
