What is a Broken Link?
Have you ever surfed a website, and landed on a page with a message like this?

Frustrating, isn’t it? And it also contributes to bad user experience. So, no wonder search engines do not like them too.
These are called broken links. As you know by now, these are links on your website that point to a web address that does not exist.
You must address this problem. Imagine when these broken links were supposed to lead to your sales page or a product page. If visitors cannot go to these pages, your sales and revenue will be adversely affected.
As mentioned earlier, search engines do not like broken links. And this can impact SEO. As such, your website and web pages can get low ranks or not even ranked at all.
How to Fix Broken Link Issues?
Find All Broken Links
So, for you, the first order of the day is to find all the broken links on your website. There are many tools and sites available online to help you with this.
What I like to do is use a plugin called Broken Links Checker. This plugin helps me regularly check my entire website. And it looks out for any broken links. When there are any, I will get an email notification about it.

Fix All Broken Links
It is so easy to fix broken links, especially with a plugin. The same plugin I just mentioned above helps me to fix all my broken links.
Of course, I have to check each broken link to make sure that it is a real issue. Then the plugin has many options to fix it; such as edit the link, remove link or even dismiss it if it is actually not a broken link.
