Broken Link Checker for SEO | Rabbit SEO
Rabbit SEO's Broken Links Tester
Rabbit SEO’s broken link checker (product name: Broken Links Tester) is a signed-in tool that checks links on a URL you enter. Columns include status (broken / redirect / working), internal vs external, anchor, and destination (plus final URL on redirects). Source page = the tested URL. It does not offer CSV export or always-on monitoring. The linksMonitoring allotment is separate backlink monitoring capacity.
Why broken links matter
Broken links can frustrate visitors, waste crawl paths, weaken trust, and make a website feel outdated. For small business SEO, they are one of the practical issues worth fixing as part of regular maintenance.
Finding broken links manually across many pages can take a lot of time. A website link checker helps you find broken links faster, supports better user experience, and may help protect SEO health when link issues are caught early.
Combine link checks with audits from the homepage and the SEO tools hub. Continuous backlink monitoring capacity is a separate product allotment — not this tester.
What the Broken Links Tester reports
Enter a URL while signed in. Results cover the links found on that page — not a site-wide continuous monitor.
Source page
The URL you enter to run the tester — every row is a link found on that page.
Destination + HTTP status
Target URL, final URL on redirects, and HTTP status when returned (e.g. 404, 403, 5xx in recommendations).
Type, status & action
Internal vs external, check status (broken / redirect / working), plus recommended next step in plain language.
Product demonstration — fictional example rows for demo-rabbit-store.example (not live customer data). Matches tester fields: source = tested URL; destination; HTTP status in guidance; internal/external; recommended action.
| Source page | Destination | HTTP | Type | Status | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| https://demo-rabbit-store.example/backpacks | https://demo-rabbit-store.example/clearance-old | 404 | Internal | Broken | Update or remove this link (page not found). |
| https://demo-rabbit-store.example/backpacks | https://demo-partner.example/guide → /guide-v2 | 301 | External | Redirect | Optional: point directly to the final URL. |
| https://demo-rabbit-store.example/backpacks | https://demo-rabbit-store.example/contact | 200 | Internal | Working | No action needed. |
No CSV export and no always-on monitoring for this tester. linksMonitoring allotment = separate backlink monitoring capacity.

Rabbit SEO vs manual link checking
Manual link checking can work on small sites, but it often becomes time-consuming as pages and links grow. Rabbit SEO helps organize and simplify link checks.
| Capability | Manual link checking | Rabbit SEO |
|---|---|---|
| Finding broken links | Possible | Helps find broken links |
| Checking many pages | Time-consuming | Scalable checks |
| Reviewing backlink issues | Separate tools | Connected workflows |
| Connecting link issues with SEO audits | Manual review | SEO audit integration |
| Monitoring link health over time | Often inconsistent | Per-URL signed-in tester |
| Saving time on SEO maintenance | Varies | Centralized platform |
| Combining link checks with rank tracking and backlinks | Multiple tools | One SEO platform |
Manual checking remains a valid approach for very small sites. Rabbit SEO helps reduce manual checking by keeping broken link discovery, audits, backlinks, and rank tracking in one place.
