FAQs
Do you crawl my whole website?
No. Only the page you enter, and up to 20 of its links to the same site.
Why is a working link marked Worth a look?
Sometimes a server is slow or blocks our checker. Click the link yourself to confirm.
Are external links included?
No. We only check links to other pages on the same site, up to 20.
Is a broken link bad for search?
It can waste visitors' time and, if there are many, it can look poorly maintained. Fixing them is good practice either way.
