Free Broken Link Checker
Paste a list of URLs and check which ones are dead. Each link is checked live for its HTTP status so you can find and fix 404s before they cost you traffic or trust. Run it before a big content push or after a site migration, when stale outbound links are most likely to have crept in.
- Live HTTP status check per URL
- Flags 404s and other dead links
- Up to 20 URLs per check

Where this tool fits
Broken Link Checker FAQ
Is the broken link checker free?
Yes. The broken link checker is free to use on Seobase with no signup required for the on-page link status report.
Can I use the broken link checker for SEO content?
Yes. The tool is built for search-focused workflows and pairs best with human review before publishing.
How many URLs can I check at once?
Up to 20 per check, one per line. For a larger site, run it in batches of 20 rather than trying to paste in a full sitemap at once.
Does it check live status, or just look for obvious 404 patterns?
It makes a live HTTP request to each URL and reports the actual status code it gets back, 404, 500, redirect chains, and so on, not a guess based on the URL structure.
What should I do with a URL it flags as broken?
Either fix the destination, update the link to point somewhere live, or remove it, a 404 on a page you link to internally wastes crawl budget and breaks the experience for anyone who clicks it, so it's worth fixing before your next content refresh rather than after.
