Free Broken Link Checker for Wix
Wix makes it easy to rename pages and restructure your site, which is exactly why broken links appear: change a page URL and every link to it breaks. Add in aging outbound links and removed apps, and 404s build up quietly.
Dead Link Crawler scans your published Wix site end to end and lists every broken link with its status code, anchor text, and the page it was found on. Nothing to install, and it works with both wixsite.com URLs and connected custom domains.

Free to use. No sign-up required.
Why broken links pile up on Wix
Renamed pages and URL slugs
Changing a page's URL slug in the Wix editor updates the page but not the links pointing to the old address. Those links return a 404 until you add a redirect.
Hidden or unpublished pages
Hiding a page from your menu or unpublishing it does not remove links to it elsewhere on the site. Visitors following those links hit a dead end.
Removed apps and elements
Wix apps and embedded elements often add their own links. Removing an app can leave orphaned links behind in content you edited around it.
Outbound link rot
Links to other websites break over time as those sites change. Only a fresh crawl reveals which of your outbound links have gone dead.
How to fix broken links on Wix
Use the Wix URL Redirect Manager
In your dashboard, open SEO Tools, then URL Redirect Manager, and add a 301 redirect from the old URL to the new one. This is the built-in way to rescue traffic from renamed or removed pages.
Fix links in the editor
Use the "Found on page" column to open the page holding each broken link, then update the link target or remove it in the Wix editor.
Republish after changes
Wix changes go live only when you publish. After fixing links or adding redirects, republish so the fixes are actually live, then re-scan to confirm.
Keep an eye on it
Sign in and turn on monitoring so your Wix site is re-checked automatically and new broken links surface without you remembering to look.
Wix broken link checker FAQ
- Does this work with a free wixsite.com address?
- Yes. Enter your wixsite.com URL or your connected custom domain and the crawler scans whichever one your visitors use.
- Do I need to add any code to my Wix site?
- No. The scan runs in your browser against your live site, so there is no code, app, or embed to add.
- Why do fixed links still show as broken?
- Wix serves changes only after you publish. Make sure you republished the site, then run the scan again to see the update.
- How often should I scan a Wix site?
- Monthly is a good baseline. Scan again any time you rename pages or restructure your navigation, since that is when links break.
