Every broken link, redirect chain, and anchor issue — found.

Broken Link Checker

Broken links are one of the most common and damaging technical SEO issues. A single 404 error doesn't just frustrate users — it wastes crawl budget, dilutes link equity, and signals neglect to search engines. Redirect chains (A redirects to B, which redirects to C) compound the problem by adding latency and losing PageRank at each hop. EchoBat's Link Health lens checks every internal and external link on your site and surfaces issues ranked by impact.

How It Works

EchoBat's crawler follows every link it discovers, recording the HTTP status code for each. The Link Health lens then analyzes the full link graph: broken links are grouped by status code and source page, redirect chains are traced to their final destination and measured by hop count, and anchor text is evaluated for quality and diversity. Issues are ranked by a composite impact score that considers the linking page's authority and traffic.

Why It Matters

  • Find broken links before Google does — protect your crawl budget
  • Results ranked by impact: high-traffic pages with broken links surface first
  • Detects redirect chains that waste PageRank across multiple hops
  • Catches anchor text issues that affect keyword relevance signals
