Why broken links matter

A broken link creates a dead end for both users and crawlers. Fixing internal links improves navigation and helps preserve a clean, understandable site structure.

Repair or redirect the right URL

WebMendly recommends updating links when a replacement URL exists, removing obsolete references, or redirecting moved pages to the most relevant destination.

Frequently asked questions

What is a broken link?

A broken link points to a URL that does not successfully return the expected page, often because the destination was moved, deleted or entered incorrectly.

Does WebMendly crawl every page?

The current audit uses a bounded internal-link check for speed and safety. Broader site crawling can be added as WebMendly expands.

Are broken links an SEO issue?

They can affect user experience and site structure. A small number is not automatically a ranking disaster, but broken internal navigation should generally be repaired.
