Why broken links are a big deal
Broken links can be a silent killer for your website, frustrating users and hurting your credibility. One of the most common reasons for broken links is pages that are deleted or moved without updating the links that point to them.
Take this scenario: imagine you create a temporary page for your Black Friday Sale and link to it across your website. After the sale ends, you delete the page but forget to remove or update those links. Now, every time someone clicks on one of those links, they land on a 404 error page—a dead end that leaves users disappointed and likely to leave the site altogether.
Broken links are bad for user experience and hurt your SEO. Search engines frown upon broken links, which signal poor maintenance and can negatively affect your site’s rankings in search results.
