Using the Find Broken Links, Redirects & Google Sitemap Generator Free Tool

Links are critically important to webpages, not only for connecting to other, related pages to help end users find the information they want, but in optimizing the pages for SEO. The Find Broken Links, Redirects & Google Sitemap Generator Free Tool allows webmasters and search engine optimizers to check the status of both external links and internal links on an entire website. The resulting report will give webmasters and SEOs insight to the link structure of a website, identify link redirects and errors, all of which help in planning a link optimization strategy.

Get started

To start, type (or paste) the full home page URL of the website you want scanned. Select the number of pages you want to scan (up to 500, up to 1,000, or up to 10,000). Note that the job starts immediately and runs in real time. For larger sites containing numerous pages, the process can take up to 30 minutes to crawl and gather data on 1,000 pages (and longer still for very large sites). You can set the tool to send you an email once the crawl is completed and the data report is prepared.


Note that the results table data is interactive. Most of the data items are linked, either to the URLs referenced or to details about the data.
For most cells that contain non-URL data, pause the mouse over the cell to see the full results.
