Tips

• Scan after every site redesign. Moves and renames break links. Catch them before visitors do. Fix 404 errors first. They are the most common. Update the URL or remove the link. Check external links often. Other sites change without warning. Link rot never stops. Use redirects for moved pages. A 301 sends visitors to the new page. It saves the link value too. Scan your most visited pages first. Popular pages matter most. Fix them before quiet ones. Check links in old blog posts too. Old posts gather the most rot. Fresh links keep archives useful.
