How do I find and fix broken links on my website?

A website's internal links must point to existing files or pages. Broken links make a website hard to use. A regular check for broken links helps keep the website working correctly.

The rule

A website's internal links must point to existing files or pages.

Broken links make a website hard to use. A regular check for broken links helps keep the website working correctly.

A developer can scan a website for broken links. The scan shows which links do not work. It also shows where these broken links are located. The developer must update the broken links to point to the correct file paths. Sometimes, the linked files are missing and need to be created or restored. Old backup files can also contain many broken links. These backup files should be ignored or deleted.

A developer scans a website and finds many broken links. The report shows that the 'home.html' page links to a 'Temp/' folder that does not exist. The developer updates the links on 'home.html' to point to the correct folders. The report also shows many broken links in old backup files. The developer deletes these backup files to clean up the report.
