How to find all dead links on site?

What is the easiest way to find all dead links on your websites. I ask because when I check my Google Webmaster account my site report deadlinks but does not show which pages they are on.

 

Try Xenu - it will find all the broken links on your website.

 

I recommend it too, it's really fast in efficient.

 

Xenu is good one, and even you can use - http://www.dead-links.com

 

Nice tool. i use the google webmaster tools to find the error pages that the googlebot finds, but i think this gives a more clear report.

 

if you want to check the external links use something like php's script file_get_contents() to check each link exists.

 

click it all by yourself. joking. yeah http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html is good to use or some people even offer a service to check a dead links and find new links for you. you could try those.

 

Add up one vote for Xenu - I've been using it for a long long time. Great tool!

Google Sitemap normally tells you if you have search engine visible dead links. The tools that were mentioned by the others are definitely great as well.

 

Once you find them, you have to remove them.

If you're using PHP and MySQL you can easily use a regex to find the dead links, and then you can rewrite them and save to the database. Anytime you can combine two steps into one is well worth it.

 

yes, as smb. said, XENU is the best.

 

XENU rocks

 

I also use and recommend Xenu.

 

Thanks guys, this forum rocks. Xenu it is, too bad Google Webmaster Central only tells you the link that is dead no the page that link is on. That would make it easier for us webmasters.

 

Never heard of Xenu before. Really nice little tool! Thanks.
