Dead Link Crawler Is Officially Live

Today's the day. Dead Link Crawler is officially live, and it is ready to find every broken link hiding on your website.

We built it for a simple reason: broken links are everywhere, they quietly hurt your SEO and frustrate your visitors, and finding them should not require an expensive suite or a desktop install. So we made a broken link checker that is genuinely free, runs entirely in your browser, and hands you the exact context you need to fix what it finds.

Here is what you can do with it today.

Scan any site free, no account needed

Paste a URL and hit scan. That is the whole setup. Nothing to download, no license to buy, and no signup wall between you and your first crawl. Dead Link Crawler visits your site the way Google does, following every internal link and testing every URL it finds, including outbound links to other websites.

Watch results stream in live

No staring at a spinner. Broken links appear the moment the crawler finds them, streaming in live as the scan runs. For every dead link you get the broken URL, its HTTP status code (404, 410, 500, or a timeout), the anchor text, and, most importantly, the exact page the link was found on, so fixing it is straightforward.

Save and compare your crawl history

Create a free account and every crawl is saved automatically. Fix your links, re-scan next month, and compare reports to confirm the count actually went down.

Export a clean, shareable report

Need to hand a client or a teammate a tidy list of what to fix? Every result exports to CSV, JSON, Google Sheets, Google Docs, or PDF, all free on every plan.

Monitor your site automatically

Link rot never stops: pages move, and external sites disappear without warning. Set up a scheduled monitor and Dead Link Crawler re-crawls your site on its own, emailing you the moment a new broken link appears, so you catch it before your visitors do.

A crawler that behaves

It respects robots.txt, throttles itself per domain, and honors crawl delays, so it finds your broken links without hammering your server.

Try it right now

Every one of these features is live and free to use today. Scan up to 250 pages on the free plan, and if you need more, Pro raises crawls to 1,000 pages, adds unlimited history and up to 10 monitors, and lets you white-label your reports.

We are just getting started, and we would love for you to kick the tires. Run your first free crawl now →
