Broken Link Checker
Paste a page URL. We extract every <a href> on the page, fire concurrent HEAD requests against all of them, and show you exactly which links are dead — with status codes, anchor text, and response time.
Scan a page
How this scan differs from basic tools
• Real HTTP codes, not regex guessing. We send concurrent HEAD requests — falling back to GET on 405/501 — against every link. Status 200/301/404/500 comes straight from the origin server.
• Anchor text + link context. Every broken link includes the actual anchor text your visitors clicked, so you can find-and-replace it in your CMS instantly.
• Skips tracking noise.
• Sub-6-second scans. A 100-link page typically returns in 3–5 s thanks to parallel fetches.

They check one page at a time. RankCause itself does the thing they can’t:
it watches your pages over time and tests whether a change you made
actually moved a ranking.
