About the Bulk Broken Links Checker
The Bulk Broken Links Checker from SEOAegis quickly scans multiple pages to identify
broken links, redirects, and unreachable resources. It’s designed for SEOs, developers, content managers, and QA teams
who need a fast, reliable way to maintain a clean, error-free website.
The tool crawls each URL you provide, checks all <a href> and <img src> links, follows redirects,
and reports the final HTTP status—helping you fix issues before they impact user experience or SEO performance.
Key Features
- Uses a HEAD request first for speed, with a safe GET fallback for servers that block HEAD requests.
- Classifies results into OK (200), Redirects (3xx), and Broken/Error statuses.
- Detects external and internal links across multiple pages in one scan.
- Exports a CSV report for sharing with your team or importing into task trackers.
Why Fixing Broken Links Matters
- Improves SEO: Broken internal links waste crawl budget and can hurt rankings.
- Enhances user experience: Visitors are less likely to bounce if all links work correctly.
- Preserves link equity: Redirecting or fixing broken inbound links helps retain SEO value.
- Prevents conversion loss: Broken CTAs or image links can directly impact leads and sales.
When to Use This Tool
- During SEO audits to identify and fix link issues site-wide.
- Before or after website migrations to ensure redirects work correctly.
- As part of monthly maintenance to keep user journeys intact.
- After content updates or URL changes to verify all links are still valid.
Pro Tip: Run this checker regularly and set a policy for 301 redirect mapping when URLs change.
This prevents losing valuable rankings and ensures visitors always land where they expect.
FAQs
- Does this tool check both internal and external links?
- Yes. It scans all links found in
<a href> and <img src> tags, whether they point to your domain or another site.
- What’s the difference between a broken link and a redirect?
- A broken link returns a 4xx or 5xx error code, while a redirect (3xx) sends users to another URL, which may or may not be correct.
- Will this tool follow multiple redirect hops?
- Yes, but you should aim to minimize redirect chains to reduce latency and preserve SEO value.
Tip: After fixing broken links, submit your updated XML sitemap to Google Search Console to speed up reindexing.
