Understanding Broken Links
What are Broken Links?
Broken links (or dead links) are hyperlinks on a webpage that no longer work. When clicked, they lead to a non-existent page, typically resulting in a 404 error.
Why They Matter
Broken links create a poor user experience, reduce trust in your website, and can negatively impact your search engine rankings.
SEO Impact
Search engines like Google consider broken links as a sign of poor maintenance. Too many broken links can lower your site's credibility and ranking.
