The presence of links, both internal and external, shows Google and other search engines that your website is a reputable source of information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what happens if these links are broken? Two things.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, Google&#8217;s crawlers have a hard time navigating through your website, which ultimately affects your search engine ranking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, broken links also lead to poor user experience since they make it difficult for users to find the information they&#8217;re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, we&#8217;ll delve into the impact of broken links and how you can check whether your website has any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Broken Links?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A broken or dead link is a hyperlink that leads to a page or resource that no longer exists.

several reasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Target Page Is Moved or Deleted&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common reason for broken links is that the webpage it points to has been deleted or moved.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, you see a <strong>404 error<\/strong> when this happens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose you run a <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/holiday-marketing-stats\/\">Black Friday sale<\/a> on your website. You create a sale-specific <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/ctl\/chatgpt-prompts\/copywriting\/landing-pages\">landing page<\/a> and link to it from your homepage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the sale, you take down that <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/landing-page-stats\/\">landing page<\/a> but forget to remove the link from your homepage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result? Anyone clicking on the now-broken link will reach a 404 error page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Incorrect URL Formatting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The URL has to be formatted a certain way for it to work. If you don&#8217;t follow the format when <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/seo-audit\/\">writing URLs for your web pages<\/a>, the users will see a <strong>400 bad request error.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bad request error also appears if the user formats the URL incorrectly while searching for it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if a user accidentally adds a % sign in place of a space while typing the URL, it will result in an incorrect URL format and show them this error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, we searched for hypertension on Healthline. Here&#8217;s the correct URL for that page: <strong><em>https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/high-blood-pressure-hypertension&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We added a % sign before hypertension to make the URL this: <strong><em>https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/high-blood-pressure-%hypertension<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we typed this URL in our browser, it showed a bad request error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;:\n\t\t\t\t{ &quot;image&quot;:\n\t\t\t\t\t{   &quot;imageLoaded&quot;: false,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t&quot;initialized&quot;:

Previously, its URL was: <strong><em>www.website.com\/products\/<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you recently decided to change the URL structure, and now it&#8217;s <strong><em>www.website.com\/shop\/products\/<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/on-page-seo\/\">update your internal links<\/a>, any user clicking on them will reach a 404 error page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Code Changes in Third-Party Plugins&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most websites use third-party plugins to enhance their functionality. For example, you may use a social sharing plugin to make it easier for users to share your content on <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/ctl\/chatgpt-prompts\/social-media\">social media<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the developer of that plugin makes any changes to its code or discontinues its support, it can result in broken links on your website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a user clicks on the <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/facebook-stats\/\">Facebook<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/instagram-stats\/\">Instagram<\/a> sharing button, it won&#8217;t work, and they will receive a 404 error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Broken Images&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Images may also be linked on web pages. For example, if you&#8217;re writing an article about &#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/seo-stats\/\">on-page SEO statistics<\/a>,&#8221; you may add graphs and charts from other sources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the image is deleted from the source website or if its URL changes, it will result in a broken image on your web page.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A broken image

SEO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, they do. Broken links are a critical <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/what-is-seo-search-engine-optimization-explained\/\">SEO<\/a> issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a few broken links will not lead to a severe drop in your rankings, they still <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/seo-audit\/\">affect your site&#8217;s SEO<\/a> and should be fixed quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some experts believe that broken links can be ignored, as Google understands that these links are natural occurrences and don&#8217;t indicate that your site is poor in quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But many webmasters still believe that fixing broken links can make a big impact on your site&#8217;s overall performance in the search engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s now understand how broken links can impact SEO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Broken Links Can Cost You Sales and Revenue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you run an <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/online-shopping-stats\/\">online store<\/a> and have spent a lot of time and money on ads to bring customers to your site.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A customer goes through your site, finds a product, and adds it to the cart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when they try to check out, the link to the payment page is broken.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since they can&#8217;t complete their purchase, they leave your site without buying anything. And they surely won&#8217;t come back because of this frustrating experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All your marketing efforts to get that customer to your site are wasted because of that one broken link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This shows exactly how a broken link in the sales process can cost you both sales and revenue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They Can Hurt Your Indexing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Search engines use bots to crawl websites and index their content. These bots follow links to discover new pages and content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they come across a broken link, it will stop the crawling process and move on to the next page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that any content linked from that broken link will not be indexed by search engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, your website\u2019s visibility in <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/serp-preview\/\">search engine results pages (SERPs)<\/a> may decrease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How They Frustrate Users&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Users are more likely to stay on your website if it\u2019s easy to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if they keep running into broken links, it can negatively affect their experience. Broken links frustrate users by preventing them from accessing the desired information or page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose you run an <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/ctl\/chatgpt-prompts\/seo\/ecommerce-seo\">e-commerce<\/a> athleisure store. Your blog contains links to popular products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A user clicks on a link, hoping to view the product details and purchase it, but instead encounters an <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/types-of-redirects\/\">error page<\/a>. They will likely leave your website and look for the item elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeated negative exposure will ultimately result in <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/customer-retention-stats\/\">customer churn<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Cause of Increased Bounce Rates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bounce rate shows how long a visitor stays on a webpage before leaving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If visitors hit broken links, they might leave the site right away. And when lots of people leave quickly, the bounce rate goes up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a problem because search engines like Google use bounce rates to judge a site&#8217;s quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A high bounce rate makes your content seem less valuable, which can hurt your ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it&#8217;s still unclear exactly what bounce rate Google considers bad, it&#8217;s smart to keep it low.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fixing broken links helps improve bounce rate and boosts your site&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Risks They Pose to Your Site\u2019s Ranking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Internal links play an important role in <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/seo-stats\/\">SEO<\/a> as they help search engines to know the structure of a website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google has even said that a site\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/seo-strategy-the-definitive-guide-2025\/\">internal link structure<\/a> is considered an important ranking factor, which means that broken internal links can cause a website to miss out on search engine traffic.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Check Broken Links With SEO Minion?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve already established that broken links are a no-no for any website. They not only negatively impact user experience but also affect your website&#8217;s search engine ranking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fix broken links, you first have to identify where they are and what makes them &#8221;broken.&#8221; Imagine doing this manually! That&#8217;s going to take forever.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/how-to-use-seo-minion\/\">SEO Minion<\/a> simplifies the process so that you can focus on fixing the broken links rather than spending days finding them on every web page on your website.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a step-by-step guide on using SEO Minion to check broken links. For this example, we ran a <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/google-search-stats\/\">Google search<\/a> for &#8221;common causes of house fires&#8221; and analyzed the top results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Click &#8221;Check Broken Links&#8221;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to the web page where you want to check broken links.

want to share the list of broken links with your team or work on them at a later time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spreadsheet shows the link URL, anchor text, and error type. So you know exactly what to fix and how to fix it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Fix Broken Links&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve identified broken links, the next step is to fix them. Let&#8217;s look at how to fix broken links.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prioritize Fixes&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on how big your website is, you might be dealing with 100 broken links. You need to prioritize which links to fix first.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consult <a href=\"https:\/\/static.googleusercontent.com\/media\/guidelines.raterhub.com\/en\/\/searchqualityevaluatorguidelines.pdf\">Google&#8217;s Search Quality Guidelines<\/a> to see how each type of link error might affect user experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google divides the impact by intensity:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Lowest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medium&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Highest&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure enough, you have to fix all the links on your website. But you need to fix the highest-intensity links first.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remove Broken Links&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not every broken link can be updated. Some lead to pages that no longer exist and will not be restored. The best course of action for these links is to remove them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you create a temporary landing page for a webinar you hosted, but you take that page down after the event, all of the links to it will be broken. So instead of trying to fix those links, it&#8217;s better to simply remove them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Update Broken Link URLs&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the links are broken due to an issue with the URL, update them. Here are some ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Search and replace: <\/strong>WordPress has a built-in search and replace function that automatically searches for old URLs on your website and replaces them with new ones. You can also do this manually.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Update link structure: <\/strong>If you&#8217;ve changed your website&#8217;s permalink structure, update internal links that were affected by the change.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, if the page URL has changed, update the link accordingly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Redirects&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve changed a page&#8217;s URL and have no way of updating the links pointing to it, <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/types-of-redirects\/\">use redirects<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing this will automatically redirect users to the new URL when they click on the old link.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose you have a blog post titled &#8220;10 Tips for Better Productivity&#8221; with the URL <strong><em>www.yourwebsite.com\/blog\/10-tips-for-productivity.<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After some time, you add more tips to the article. So, you remove &#8221;10&#8221; from the link.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have now changed the URL to <strong><em>www.yourwebsite.com\/blog\/better-productivity-tips. <\/em><\/strong>Use a redirect to ensure that anyone clicking on the old link will still be directed to the updated post.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this change is permanent, use a <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/types-of-redirects\/\">301 redirect<\/a>. For temporary changes, a <a href=\"https:\/\/keywordseverywhere.com\/blog\/types-of-redirects\/\">302 redirect<\/a> is more appropriate. You can learn more about redirects in our guide here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Broken links can quickly become a bane for any website.
