Why Use Dead Link Checker
Broken links frustrate users, hurt SEO, and reflect poorly on site quality. A dead link checker helps you find and fix these issues before they accumulate.

No signup required. Enter a URL, click Check Dead Links, and review the results. The tool auto-adds https:// if needed.
