    A broken link is a web-page that can’t be found or accessed by a user, for various reasons. Web servers will often return an error message when a user tries to access a broken link. Broken links are also often known as “dead links” or “link rots.”

    The broken link is a web page that does not access to the user. For example, we create a new page on our website and create a new link of our webpage as well, after some time or due to some reason we delete our web page but do not delete our link. This condition is called a broken link.

    Cleaning up broken links can add context to your website, improve user experience, and make content within your website easier for visitors and search engines to discover. On the other hand, websites with too many broken links can be a signal of low quality to search engines.
