Why Fix Broken Links?
Broken links, also known as dead links or 404 errors, are hyperlinks on a website that point to a page or file that no longer exists. Fixing them is crucial for your website's health:
- SEO Impact: Search engines like Google crawl your site using links. If they hit a dead end (404), it stops the crawl budget and signals poor site maintenance, dropping your rankings.
- User Experience (UX): Nothing frustrates a visitor more than clicking a link to read something and getting a "Page Not Found" error. Fixing links keeps users on your site longer.
- Reclaim Lost Traffic: Often, broken links occur because a URL slug was changed. By finding these errors, you can set up proper 301 redirects and reclaim lost traffic.
