Broken links can negatively impact your website’s SEO by leading to poor user experience, increased bounce rates, and reduced crawl efficiency by search engines. Search engines prioritize websites that provide a seamless user experience, and having broken links can signal to search engines that your site is not well-maintained, potentially lowering your search rankings.
Broken links can occur due to various reasons, such as:
- Deletion or relocation of a web page without updating internal links.
- Typographical errors in the URL.
- Changes in the website’s URL structure without proper redirection.
- External websites that you link to being moved or deleted.
To fix broken links, you can:
- Redirect the broken URL to a relevant, functioning page using 301 redirects.
- Update the link to point to the correct URL if it was moved or changed.
- Remove the link if the content is no longer available or relevant.
- Regularly audit your website for broken links to maintain its integrity and SEO performance.
