Frequently asked questions
Broken links waste crawl budget, create dead ends for users, and signal poor maintenance. Internal links to 404 pages are especially worth fixing.
A 404 means the requested page was not found. Broken links commonly point to pages that were moved or deleted without a redirect.
Check important pages after any content migration, and audit the whole site periodically — monthly is a reasonable cadence for active sites.
