Free tool · No signup
Enter any URL and we test every link on the page — up to 50 — and report the ones that are dead, redirected, or unreachable, each with its status code, so you can fix them before visitors and crawlers hit them.
A broken link is a hyperlink that points to a page that no longer loads, usually returning a 404 or other error. Broken links frustrate visitors, waste crawl budget, and weaken SEO by sending search and AI engines to dead ends instead of working content.

What Meev is
Meev tracks where your brand appears across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, DeepSeek, Google AI Overviews, and Google AI Mode, then shows what to fix, publish, or pitch next to improve AI visibility.
The path to getting cited
01 · Your domain
Meev reads your existing pages, topics, and Google Search Console signals to learn what your site is about and already ranks for: the foundation for every gap, draft, and citation that follows.
Step 1
Enter a URL
Any public page — a blog post, your homepage, a resources page.
Step 2
We collect every link
The page is fetched once and every unique outbound and internal link is extracted.
Step 3
Each link is tested
Up to 50 links are checked in parallel and classified as healthy, redirected, or broken.
Step 4
Fix the failures
Broken links and redirects come back with status codes and notes, sorted worst-first.
A dead link is a triple loss: visitors hit a 404 and bounce, crawlers waste budget following paths that go nowhere, and engines read a page full of dead ends as unmaintained. None of these failures announce themselves — links rot silently as the sites you reference reorganize or shut down. The only defense is checking.
When an external site kills a page you linked to, that's the web being the web. When your own internal link 404s, you're actively leaking your own link equity and stranding crawlers inside your own site. Internal links are entirely under your control, so a broken one is pure self-inflicted damage — and a five-minute fix.
A 301 still gets the visitor where they're going, so redirects feel harmless — but each one adds latency, leaks a little signal, and risks becoming a chain. A page whose links all bounce through redirects is slower for users and noisier for crawlers. Updating links to point at the final destination is cheap insurance.
With Meev
Sweeping old pages for dead links is maintenance; never publishing them is prevention. Content generated by Meev cites real, resolving sources — and the publishing pipeline validates outbound references before anything ships.
Three ways at once. Visitors who hit a 404 lose trust and bounce, which hurts engagement signals. Crawlers waste crawl budget following links that go nowhere, which means less of your real content gets crawled. And a page littered with dead links reads as stale or unmaintained — engines prefer to rank and cite pages that are actively cared for.
Internal ones. An external link can die because someone else's site changed — annoying, but not your structure failing. A broken internal link means your own site is leaking its own link equity and stranding both visitors and crawlers inside pages you control. Fix internal breaks first; they're also the easiest to fix permanently.
They're soft problems rather than hard failures. Each redirect adds a round trip of latency, can leak a small amount of ranking signal, and risks chaining into more redirects as sites restructure over time. The link works today — but pointing it directly at the final URL is faster for users, cleaner for crawlers, and removes a future failure point.
Monthly for most sites, and immediately after any restructure — yours or a key partner's. Link rot is continuous: studies consistently find a meaningful share of web links die within a few years. High-traffic pages and resource roundups with many outbound links deserve a more frequent sweep than rarely-visited archive pages.
2xx codes (like 200) mean the link is healthy. 3xx codes (301, 302, 308) mean it redirects somewhere else — working, but worth updating to the final destination. 4xx codes mean the page is gone or blocked: 404 is not found, 410 is deliberately removed, 403 is access denied. 5xx codes mean the destination server is failing. No code at all means the server didn't respond.
Fifty parallel checks keeps the run fast — usually 10–25 seconds — while covering the full link list of most pages. If your page has more, we check the first 50 and tell you how many were found in total; run key sections of very long pages separately for full coverage.
Meev tracks your visibility across every major AI search surface and publishes quality-gated content that earns citations — automatically.
