Redirect and broken link check
Shows the redirect chain step by step and finds broken links on pages sampled from your sitemap.
What does this check cover?
Four spellings of your domain are followed, then internal links sampled from the home page and sitemap pages are tested.
Redirects
Four spellings of your address are followed to see whether they reach one HTTPS URL with short, permanent redirects.
Link health
Up to 8 internal links on the page are sampled; broken (4xx/5xx) and redirecting links are reported.
How is the score calculated?
The total is a weighted average of the layers below. Checks within each layer are scored on their own; a critical issue can cap the total.
| Layer | Weight | Measures |
|---|---|---|
| Redirects | %40 | http/https and www consistency |
| Link health | %60 | Status of sampled internal links |
What this test measures — and what it cannot
http://, http://www., https:// and https://www. were followed; 2 sitemap pages were picked and 8 internal links sampled at random. Not every link is checked.
This report is an automated first assessment. It does not guarantee appearing in AI assistants or Google; it only shows measurable technical and content signals.
Frequently asked questions
Why not check every link?
To avoid loading your server, a check sends at most about 15 requests. Sampling is enough to reveal problems.
