What this Broken Link Checker Detects
A broken or unusable link is not always a live missing-page response. Problems can begin inside the HTML itself. Empty destinations, placeholder values, JavaScript links, malformed URLs and missing href attributes can create poor navigation and make important content difficult for visitors and crawlers to reach. For a detailed walkthrough, read our Broken Link Checker Guide.
This tool reads every anchor element in the supplied HTML and organizes the result into internal links, external links, email links, telephone links, page fragments and potential issues. It also displays attributes such as nofollow, sponsored, ugc, target, noopener and noreferrer.
Why Anchor Text Matters
Descriptive anchor text helps people understand where a link leads. Generic labels such as “click here” can be less informative, while image-only or empty anchors may require an accessible label. Review each warning in context because some short labels, icons and navigation patterns may still be intentional.
Internal and External Link Review
When you enter a base URL, relative destinations are resolved against that address. Links pointing to the same hostname are classified as internal, while links going to another hostname are marked as external.
Frequently Asked Questions
Broken Link Checker FAQs
Does this tool check live missing-page responses?
No. It analyzes pasted HTML and highlights structural link problems and destinations that need review.
What is a placeholder link?
A placeholder commonly uses an empty href, a hash symbol or a JavaScript value instead of a usable destination.
Can relative links be analyzed?
Yes. Add a base URL so the tool can resolve relative paths and classify them as internal links.
Does the tool detect duplicate links?
Yes. Repeated normalized destinations are identified and their occurrence count is shown.
Are mailto and telephone links errors?
No. They are classified separately unless their values are empty or malformed.
Is pasted HTML uploaded?
No. The analysis runs locally in your browser through JavaScript.
