1. Use a link checker tool either in your browser as an extension, add on or download a free broken link checker from the internet (some of which are Check My Links; Broken Link Checker; W3C Link Checker among others).
2. If it is a plugin or tool, turn it loose on you site to find all the links it can. Make sure that it is to crawl links on your website that link to other pages on your site, or from other websites.
3. After setting up the framework of the crawler run the crawler and see the results. “Dead links’ include any link belonging to the reported ‘broken’ category with a particular error code such as a 404 code.
4. It is recommended to click each of the broken links to check if they really won’t open. Sometimes it is that false alarms are issued.
5. Look for ways each link in the path is broken in your site from this path of links. It is also possible to use “find in page” search to search for links.
6. That is, one needs to decide whether the broken link is to take the user somewhere else or a particular piece of content no longer exists. Change or delete them as and when they are needed to be changed Correspondingly.
7. It may be useful to set up 301 redirects in case if useful content has just been moved between URLs so that more traffic goes to working pages.
8. Finally, run the link checker one more time just to make sure none of those links are broken anymore. He stated there may be issues that crop up every now and then and for that, you may need to re-crawl on occasions.
Sticking to this process will assist in preventing problems with broken links pervading the web site pages and enhance the value of the sites. Feel free to ask anything you want to know if you want clarifications!
