# Find Broken Internal Links

Broken internal links create dead ends for both users and search engine crawlers. When Googlebot hits a 404, it wastes your crawl budget and signals poor site maintenance. Users who encounter broken links lose trust and bounce — directly impacting your conversion rates.

ToolRouter's crawl_site and analyze_links skills work together to find every broken internal link on your site. The crawler follows all internal links from your starting URL and reports any that return 404, 500, or other error status codes, along with the source pages that link to them.

This is critical after site redesigns, URL structure changes, content deletions, and CMS migrations. Regular broken link audits (monthly or after major changes) prevent link rot from accumulating and damaging your SEO over time.
