Check For Broken Links

Broken links are bad for visitors because they convey the impression that your site is not well maintained, and they‘re bad for SEO because they can stop the search engine bots from crawling all your pages.Note that Google specifically advises webmasters to check for broken links. It’s entirely possible that Google views broken links as a sign that your site is in poor repair, just as human visitors do,and that the existence of broken links may impact your ranking simply because Google wants well maintained sites at the top of its SERPs. You can use a tool called Xenu to find broken links. It’s simple to use and the reports are self-explanatory.
