Frequently asked questions

Does it check if a page returns 404?

No. A browser tool cannot visit other websites, so it checks link format and common mistakes only.

Why do broken links matter?

They hurt user experience and can waste crawl budget.

Does this tool check if a link returns 404?

No. Browsers cannot safely check other sites, so it finds problems in the link text itself. Use Search Console for live errors.

Why are http links a problem?

They are not secure and may trigger warnings. Switch them to https where possible.
