Broken Link Checker: how it works and when to reach for it

We built this as part of a wider set of URL first SEO tools. Paste a link, get back something useful, move on with your day. Enter a website URL and the tool crawls every page, tests every internal and external link, and reports the broken ones (404, 5xx, timeouts) with the exact pages they appear on and their anchor text. Export the full report to Excel or CSV.

What Broken Link Checker actually does

The honest one-paragraph version.

Enter a website URL and the tool crawls every page, tests every internal and external link, and reports the broken ones (404, 5xx, timeouts) with the exact pages they appear on and their anchor text. Export the full report to Excel or CSV.

This one belongs to our URL first family. You paste a link and the tool reads the page for you, so most of the form ends up filled before you touch a field.

Who reaches for this

If any of these sound like you, the tool earns its bookmark.

Built mainly for SEO specialists, content marketers, and growth teams. If you have ever needed crawl a site and find dead links, you are the audience.

Use it for client work without attribution. There is no commercial restriction.

How to use it

Three steps. The tool does the rest.

The fastest path is to paste a URL into the input and let the tool do the work.

  • Paste the page URL into the input.
  • Review the auto-filled fields. Adjust anything that needs tightening.
  • Copy the output, or download it if the tool offers a file export.

Why use Broken Link Checker instead of another option

Three reasons that hold up in practice.

Tool sites usually push you toward a Pro upgrade after three uses. We do not have a Pro tier at all. Every feature is free for everyone.

SEO tools at mytoolstudio share three rules. They run in the browser whenever possible. They never lock features behind sign up. And they keep your data on your device unless server work is the only way.

Tips that save time

Small habits that compound across a workweek.

Run it on a competitor URL before you run it on your own. The diff tells you what you are missing.

  • Run it on a competitor URL before you run it on your own. The diff tells you what you are missing.
  • If your CMS strips meta tags, paste the page URL here after publishing to verify what actually shipped.
  • Use this against the staging URL during QA. Most SEO regressions are catchable before production.
