    Google Analytics (www.google.com.et/analytics) is a free tool to monitor the performance of a website, and is also useful to easily find broken links. First, log into your Google Analytics account and define the evaluation period of the amount of time you want to view. If you check for broken links a month, set the period for the month since his last check.
    Skip to content - Content by title on the dashboard, and page load. Create a filter at the bottom written on the title page 404 of your site in the empty box after the "Filter Title: Container". The title page WordStream 404 reads: "Sorry, there has been a mistake and that the page can not be to leave like that."
    All types of missing or broken links trigger the error page 404. Most sites do little with this page, visitors to the frustrating site. But WordStream that optimize the page to take advantage of this valuable piece of real estate: internal links to the pages below to right the error with a "Contact".

    The next step is to click the "Go" button on the Filter page of Google Analytics. Then click on the title of the page to see the details. In our example, the 404 page WordStream has been visited 126 times 79 pages between April 1st and April 30th for easier navigation, you can change the lines to display per page 10-100 (see 79 lines) of in bottom right.

    Google Analytics provides the ability to configure email alerts for broken links these reports on a regular basis, as well as to export broken link details.

    If you Google you'll get lots of tool.. but below I have listed the best one that most of SEOs use to check.

    Deadlinkchecker.com
    Xenu Link vault (software)
    Siteliner.com
    Check My Links (Chrome Extension for per page)

    These all works best to check the dead link in your website.

    Also you can fix broken links in these ways:

    Hi, what is your platform?
    Broken links on your website can be harmful in two ways:
    They make for a bad user experience – When users click on links and reach dead-end 404 errors, they get frustrated and may never return
    They devalue your SEO efforts – Broken links restrict the flow of link equity throughout your site, which impacts rankings negatively.
    Also, you can use:
    Google Analytics
    Xenu

    Google Wemaster tool is the best tool by which you can find out broken links. If your site is submitted in webmater tool, then go to that particular site you wish to see brolen links. Click Crawl Errors. Then it shows broken links if it exist. Can fix thise urls showing broken links. It also show the origin of the page from which this link is generated. It is easy to find out and correct the link or redirect that link to another existing link.
