How to use the Broken link checker

A link checker reviews internal and external links so you can catch dead URLs, empty anchors and weak navigation paths. Clean links help search engines crawl the site and help users move toward the next useful page.

What Clarity checks

  • Internal, external and anchor links
  • Empty link text, JavaScript links and nofollow attributes
  • Link distribution across a single page

Common issues found

  • !Important pages with no internal links pointing to them
  • !Broken or empty anchors that frustrate users and crawlers
  • !External links that send authority to irrelevant or outdated destinations

Example action

Example: a guide about sitemap fixes should link to your sitemap checker, Search Console guide and the next action page instead of leaving readers stranded.
