    There are many tools available to check entire websites for broken back-links. Screaming Frog is the best tool for broken links.

    Webmaster Tools is your best bet. If the site isn't YOUR site, though, and you can't access GWT info, then plug the site into Screaming Frog. Then sort your links (internal, inbound and outbound) and start checking them manually. That's a great way to find opportunities to request backlinks by showing site owners that they have bad links on their sites.

    Since everyone here seems to be on board with Screaming Frog, I thought this might be worth sharing:

    http://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/screaming-frog-guide/

    This guide by Seer Interactive (read: NOT MY COMPANY, NO AFFILIATION) is really helpful, especially for anyone who hasn't used the tool before.

    All the above is good for finding broken links on a site, but if you want to find the broken links on an individual page (perhaps for link building purposes) then use a Chrome or Firefox 404 checker add on - it scans a list of links on a page, then highlights the broken ones...very useful!

    All the best

    If you want to check all of your broken links then you have to get subscription on Ahrefs.com to fix all those things. You can also try majesticseo.com
