What are broken links? 

When a hyperlink on a website leads to a page that no longer exists or has been moved, it's called a broken link. Multiple broken links on a website can have negative impacts:

  • Visitors to your site can become frustrated and leave if they encounter too many broken links.
  • Search engines may struggle to crawl and index your site if there are too many broken links, which could hurt your search rankings.
  • Search engines may even view your site as low quality if it has a high number of broken links.

It's important to note that sometimes our crawler may mistakenly identify a working link as broken. This can happen if the server hosting the website you're linking to blocks our crawler from accessing it.

What are web crawler

A web crawler, also known as a spider or bot, is a program used by search engines to collect data from websites on the internet. The crawler visits websites by following hyperlinks from one page to another, collecting information about the pages it visits and sending that information back to the search engine's database.

Here's a basic overview of how a web crawler works:

  1. The crawler begins by visiting a list of seed URLs, which are typically the home pages of well-known websites.

  2. The crawler extracts the content of the page, including text, images, links, and metadata.

  3. The crawler follows each link on the page, visiting each subsequent page and repeating the process of extracting content and following links.

  4. The crawler stores the collected information about each page in a database, where it can be indexed and retrieved by the search engine's algorithm.

  5. The crawler continues to crawl the web, adding new pages to the database and updating existing pages as necessary.

Web crawlers are essential for search engines to gather and organize data about the web, which is then used to generate search results for users. However, website owners can also use crawlers to analyze their own websites and identify issues such as broken links, duplicate content, and missing metadata.
