Broken Link

A Broken Link refers to any hyperlink that fails to function correctly, leading to a webpage that is inaccessible or does not exist. Broken links typically occur when a website becomes unavailable, the linked content has been relocated without proper redirection, or the URL structure has been altered. While a single broken link may not significantly affect a website’s search engine optimization (SEO), an accumulation of broken links can be detrimental. Search engines interpret numerous broken links as a sign of a neglected or outdated website, which can negatively influence the site’s ranking in search results.
