Free Tool · No Login Required
Works with Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and other ecommerce platforms. Use this broken link checker online with any public webpage.
Paste the URL of any webpage you want to scan into the input field.
Click "Check URL" and the tool fetches every link on the page (or your store), then checks each one live for its current HTTP status.
Receive a full breakdown of working, redirecting, and broken links — grouped by status code and sorted so errors appear first. A link health score gives you an instant read on your page's overall condition.
Understanding the tool that protects your store's SEO and user experience
A broken link checker tool scans every hyperlink on a webpage and verifies whether each one resolves to a live, working destination. It returns the HTTP status code for each link — 200 (OK), 301/302 (redirect), 404 (not found), 5xx (server error), or connection failure — so you can identify and fix problems before they affect your rankings or lose a customer.
How it works: The tool crawls all anchor tags on the URL you provide, sends an HTTP request to each linked destination, and records the response. Results are grouped by status type with a health score showing what percentage of links return a clean 200 OK.
While manually clicking every link on a 50-product page could take an hour, this tool checks hundreds of links in seconds — and surfaces the ones hurting your SEO and conversions first.

The data behind why unresolved link errors cost e-commerce stores rankings and sales
Broken links can hurt user experience and make important pages harder to access. A 404 is normal when a page no longer exists, but problems arise when your store still links to it. Persistent 5xx errors can also slow Google’s crawling and affect search visibility. Fixing these issues is a simple technical SEO win.
A fast, accurate scan that shows you exactly what's broken and what to fix first.
The tool checks up to 1,000 links per page, not just a sample. Internal links, external links, image links, nav links — all checked and returned with their exact HTTP response code. No hiding errors behind a vague "issues found" message.
Get an instant percentage score showing your page's overall link health — so you know at a glance whether your store needs attention or is in good shape.
Quickly identify which URLs are returning 404 Not Found or 403 Forbidden responses. These are your highest-priority fixes — they block crawlers and frustrate visitors.
Spot links that go through 301, 302, or 308 redirects. Each redirect adds an extra step before the final page loads. The tool flags them so you can update to the final destination.
Catch 5xx server errors and complete connection failures that may not be immediately visible to visitors. Persistent server errors can slow Google’s crawling and eventually cause affected URLs to drop from search results. The tool also helps you identify third-party links that have become unavailable.
Use it as a Shopify broken link checker or scan stores built with WooCommerce and BigCommerce. The tool also supports custom websites and any public webpage.
Whether you manage one store or fifty, this tool fits your workflow
"I deleted products and collections but never cleaned up the links pointing to them."
Use our free Shopify broken link checker to scan your homepage, product pages, and blog posts to surface every 404 left behind by deleted content.
"We just moved platforms and I know some URLs changed — I need to find what broke."
Post-migration link audits are one of the most important technical SEO steps. Scan all key pages after any URL restructure or platform switch to catch errors before Google does.
"My product pages use supplier-provided URLs that could go down at any time."
Catch supplier links that have gone inactive before customers do. Run the checker after any catalog update.
"I switched themes and I'm not sure if all my links still work."
Theme changes often break navigation links and internal URLs without warning. Scan your key pages after any theme switch to catch every link that stopped working, on WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or any platform.
"My product URLs in the feed are returning 404s and my ads are getting disapproved."
Broken product page links cause Google Merchant Center disapprovals and pause your Shopping ads. Scan your product pages to catch dead URLs before they pull your listings offline.
"I audit 20+ client stores and checking links manually takes hours per store."
Run a quick link scan on any client store URL in seconds. Use the health score as a benchmark metric across accounts.
6 rules that top-performing stores follow to keep their sites clean
Deleting products, changing URL handles, or updating your theme navigation are the three most common sources of new broken links on Shopify. Run a scan through our tool after making any of these changes before your customers or Google's crawler detect any linking issues.
A 404 on your homepage or a top product page does more damage than one on a low-traffic blog post. Fix the high-traffic pages first — but work your way through everything eventually.
When a link redirects, your browser and Google both have to take an extra step to reach the actual page. That adds load time. Always point your links to the live destination URL, not a URL that redirects to it.
When you find a 404, the instinct is to remove the link entirely. The better move is to replace it with a working alternative — a related product, a current collection, or an updated page. Deleting links reduces your site's internal linking depth, which hurts how well Google can crawl and index your store.
A 404 is visible — a 5xx error or connection failure often is not. These links appear to work on the surface but return errors when crawled. Check your results for server errors and unreachable domains, and replace any that stay broken after 24 hours.
When replacing a broken link, don't just swap the URL — check that the anchor text still makes sense for the new destination. A link that says "view our summer collection" pointing to a generic homepage is confusing for visitors and adds no context for Google.
See why a free broken link checker like AdNabu's works better than checking links individually.
Most store owners discover broken links by accident — a customer complains, or they stumble across a dead page while browsing. Manually clicking every link on a 100-product page or a blog post with a dozen outbound links is slow, unreliable, and easy to skip. This tool scans every link on any page in seconds and returns a full status report — so nothing slips through.
AdNabu's Broken Link Checker scans every link on any webpage and returns a full HTTP status breakdown — 200, 301, 404, 5xx, and connection failures.
100% free with no signup — get your link health score and full error report quickly.
Results are sorted so broken links appear first, making prioritization immediate.
For ongoing 404 monitoring and 301 redirect management inside Shopify, the Nabu Redirect Manager app handles it at scale.
The tool scans up to 50 links per page by default and can be configured to check up to 1,000 links in a single run.
Most scans finish in 30 to 90 seconds. The exact time depends on how many links are on the page and how quickly each destination server responds. The tool checks 20 links in parallel to keep things fast, with a short delay between repeat requests to the same domain so it does not overload any single server. If a scan hits its time limit, you still get partial results flagged accordingly.
The tool reads the raw HTML returned by the server and extracts every anchor tag found there. Links injected later through client side JavaScript may not appear in the scan. Most Shopify themes render anchor tags server side, so the vast majority of links are caught. If your store uses a headless setup, run the scan on the rendered page source rather than the API endpoint.
Both. Every anchor tag is treated equally, whether it points to a page on your own store or to a third party site. External links matter because outbound 404s signal a poorly maintained site to Google and frustrate shoppers clicking through to supplier pages, references, or partner stores.
Run a scan once a month on your homepage, top collection pages, and top revenue product pages. Add an extra scan after every theme update, bulk product deletion, URL handle change, or platform migration. Stores that publish weekly blog content should scan the blog index page every two weeks.
No. A 301 redirect sends users and search engines to a different destination, so the link is not considered broken. However, the tool flags 301, 302, and 308 redirects separately because each redirect adds an extra step before the final page loads. Updating the original link to point directly to the final destination removes this unnecessary redirect hop.
Not every 404 is harmful. A 404 on a product you deleted intentionally and have no replacement for is acceptable, as long as nothing on your store links to it. The problem starts when a 404 page is still linked from your navigation, a collection page, a blog post, or your sitemap. Those are the 404s the tool surfaces and the ones you must fix.
Yes. Google Merchant Center crawls every product landing page URL in your feed. A 404 or 5xx response triggers a disapproval, which removes the product from Shopping ads until the link is fixed. Running the checker on the URLs in your feed before submitting catches these issues before Google does.
Every checked link appears with the anchor text visible on the page, the actual destination URL, and the HTTP status code returned. Results are grouped into five categories. OK responses at 200, redirects at 301, 302, or 308, client errors like 403 and 404, server errors in the 5xx range, and connection failures where the server did not respond at all. Errors are sorted to the top so you fix the worst issues first.
Yes. Search Console reports 404s that Googlebot has already crawled, which can lag by days or weeks. This tool runs a live scan right now, so newly broken links show up immediately. Use both. Search Console for what Google currently sees in the index. The Broken Link Checker for real time audits before or after any store change.
Fix in this order. First, 5xx server errors and connection failures, because they block both shoppers and crawlers. Second, 404 not found errors on pages linked from your navigation or top traffic pages. Third, 403 forbidden errors. Fourth, long 301 redirect chains of three hops or more.
Yes. The score is the percentage of links on the page that returned a clean 200 OK response, calculated against the total links checked in the scan. A score above 95 percent is healthy. Between 85 and 95 means a moderate cleanup is needed. Below 85 percent means the page needs attention before it hurts rankings or conversions.
Yes, this broken link checker is free and requires no account creation either.
