What Is a Broken Link Checker?
A broken link checker scans links found on a webpage and checks whether those links can be reached successfully. It can help website owners find URLs that return errors or fail to respond.
What Is a Broken Link?

How to Use the Broken Link Checker
Enter a public website URL and click Check Broken Links. Toolveta will read the links available on that webpage and check up to 50 unique HTTP or HTTPS links.
What Do HTTP Status Codes Mean?
A 2xx response generally means the request was successful. A 3xx response normally indicates a redirect. A 4xx response generally means the requested resource could not be accessed successfully, while 5xx responses indicate a server-side error.
Is This a Complete Website Crawl?
No. This tool checks links found on the submitted webpage. It does not automatically crawl every page of an entire website. For a larger website audit, individual pages should be checked or a dedicated crawler should be used.
