Finding and fixing a broken link
The existence of broken links can seriously harm your credibility and may even have a negative impact on your referencing!
Links are called internal or external (or outbound) hyperlinks when we place links directing to text or images on another page of the same site or to a page of another site. But it is not only the links present on your site that are concerned. You must pay attention to backlinks, also called inbound links, i.e. links placed on external sites that direct to your site.
Let's see together how to check whether your site contains dead links and fix them!
