What is Screpy Broken Link Checker?
Screpy Broken Link Checker is a crawl-based link-maintenance workflow for finding unavailable URLs and broken internal or external links. It provides the affected page, link, redirect, crawl, and priority context needed to decide whether a URL should be restored, redirected, corrected, or removed.
Find broken and unreachable URLs
- Screpy Broken links identifies links that resolve to unavailable destinations.
- Screpy 404 pages identifies crawled pages returning a not-found response.
- Screpy Internal links identifies broken links within the website navigation and content structure.
- Screpy External links identifies outbound links that are no longer reachable.
- Screpy Crawl errors keeps link failures in the broader crawl context instead of treating them as isolated URLs.
Diagnose and prioritize a fix
- Screpy Redirect checks reviews whether a broken path has a useful replacement or an incorrect redirect chain.
- Screpy Page context shows the affected page around the link so a team can judge user and crawl impact.
- Screpy Issue priority helps a team start with the failures most likely to affect important pages or journeys.
- Screpy Recurring checks monitors the same link risks over time after a fix is released.
Report link health and SEO impact
- Screpy Link reports summarizes broken-link findings and the work completed for a team or client.
- Screpy CSV/XLSX export moves the selected link findings into a spreadsheet or external task workflow.
- Screpy SEO impact connects broken links with crawl efficiency, user journeys, and the landing pages that need protection.

Broken link checker questions.
A clear look at how broken link checking helps teams maintain cleaner websites without turning link cleanup into manual guesswork.
How do broken links usually happen?
They often appear after deleted pages, changed URLs, failed redirects, migrations, product removals, outdated blog links, or third-party pages that no longer exist.
Which broken links should I fix first?
Start with links on high-traffic pages, conversion pages, navigation areas, product pages, and pages that search engines or users depend on often.
Should I check external links too?
Yes. Internal broken links can hurt navigation and crawl paths, while external broken links can make content look outdated or less useful.
How often should I check for broken links?
For active websites, recurring checks are better than one-time reviews. Broken links often appear after content updates, migrations, redesigns, deleted pages, or third-party URL changes.
