Broken link reviews that fit cleanly into your SEO workflow
Link maintenance can be easy to ignore until a site feels messy. SEORankUp makes it easier to run checks regularly and turn the findings into a practical fix list.
From a start URL to a useful remediation list
Add a start URL, choose whether you want a quick page-level review or a broader crawl, and let the checker process the run in the background. Once complete, you get a structured view of what broke and where it was found.
When to use it
Use the Broken Link Checker whenever a site section, landing page or content hub needs technical tidying and link health validation.
-
1After content migrations or page removals Check whether redirected, removed or restructured content has left broken links behind.
-
2When auditing content hubs Run through resource centres, blogs or support sections where internal linking matters heavily.
-
3Before client handover or launch Validate that important pages are not shipping with obvious broken internal or outbound links.
-
4For ongoing site maintenance Use saved checks as part of regular technical hygiene so issues are caught earlier, not months later.
How it works
A simple workflow for checking link health without slowing down wider technical SEO work.
Choose the project and check type
Select a saved project, choose single-page or site crawl mode, and enter the URL you want to validate or start from.
Queue the run
SEORankUp creates the check, processes it in the background and keeps the crawl focused on relevant pages when using site crawl mode.
Review and fix the results
Return to the saved check to review the broken links found, understand whether they are internal or external, and prioritise remediation.
Without a structured broken link workflow
- Broken links stay hidden until users or clients stumble across them
- Site clean-up becomes reactive and hard to prioritise
- Checks get done manually and inconsistently across different tools or spreadsheets
- Technical hygiene tasks drift away from the rest of the SEO process
With the SEORankUp Broken Link Checker
- Run quick checks or broader crawls depending on the task at hand
- See internal and external broken links broken down clearly
- Queue larger scans in the background and revisit the saved results later
- Keep technical clean-up connected to the right SEO project

Frequently asked questions
Common questions before you run your first broken link check.
What is the difference between single page and site crawl?
Single page checks inspect the links found on one URL. Site crawl mode starts from a chosen URL and works through pages on the same host, helping you review a broader section of the site.
Does the checker run instantly?
Checks are queued and processed in the background. This keeps the workflow more reliable, especially for broader crawls that need to check multiple pages and links.
Does it separate internal and external broken links?
Yes. The tool tracks total broken links and separates broken internal links from broken external links, making it easier to prioritise the most important fixes first.
Can I control how broad the crawl is?
Yes. Site crawls use a page limit so you can keep checks more controlled and proportionate to the area of the site you want to review.
Are the results saved?
Yes. Completed runs are saved against your selected project so you can return to them later and manage remediation more effectively.
Why is a broken link checker useful for SEO?
Broken links can create poor user experiences, waste crawl paths and make sites feel neglected. Checking them regularly helps keep content journeys cleaner and technical hygiene stronger.
