Hi, am just wondering if anyone knows a good free tool I can use to scan my website for any pages that have a 404 page not found error on them. The website is getting pretty big now and I want to find all these dead links and set a 301 redirect to the most relevant page. Thanks
there is another tool which you can check out and it is free also and helps me out well with checking 404 page not found known as XENU, search google for XENU and download the software from the first link that google shows.
Xenu link sleuth, is the tool I always run. Not only does it show you 404, but also broken links and other great information. Plus you can create a Sitemap with it.
Google web master tools show these 404 error pages. There you can identify which URLs are not working
