No broken links
What the check finds
Outbound links that error. They cost trust and send crawlers to nothing.
Why it matters for AI answers
Links that lead to errors waste crawler visits and make the page look neglected. AI tools that follow them find nothing, and readers lose trust.
How to fix it
- List the broken links with a link checker or crawl tool.
- Update each link to a working URL, or remove it if no replacement exists.
- Where a linked page on the site moved, add a 301 redirect from the old URL.
