# Find broken links

> Check one page or crawl your site, locate broken destinations, and verify your fixes.

Canonical: https://docs.georanker.com/docs/broken-links

Find links that send visitors to a dead end. **Broken Links** shows both the page containing a link and the destination it checked, so you know where to make the fix.

## Create a report

1. Select your project and open **Broken Links**.
2. Click **New Report**.
3. Enter the **Website URL**, for example `https://booking.com/`.
4. Choose a **Scope**: **Page** checks links on the submitted page; **Site** follows internal links to other pages.
5. For a site crawl, set **Max Depth**. Depth `0` checks the starting URL; depth `1` includes pages linked from it.
6. Set **Max Pages** to limit the crawl. The form accepts 1 to 500 pages.
7. Turn on **Check External Links** if you also want to check destinations on other domains.
8. Click **Start Crawl**. Open the completed report from the report list.

[Interactive example: Broken Links: crawl setup](https://docs.georanker.com/docs/broken-links). The example uses illustrative sample data.

For a quick first check, use **Page** on an important landing page. Use **Site** when you need to investigate navigation or a broader set of internal links.

## Find the page that needs fixing

Check the **Total Links**, **Broken**, and **Working** totals. **External checked** confirms whether external destinations were included.

[Interactive example: Broken Links: crawl results](https://docs.georanker.com/docs/broken-links). The example uses illustrative sample data.

Change **All links** to **Broken only** to focus the table. For each result:

- **Source Page** is where the link was found. Open this page in your website editor.
- **Checked URL** is the destination that was tested.
- **Status** shows the response from that destination.
- **Link Text** helps you identify the link on the page. Some resources have no link text.
- **Type** identifies the resource or link type.

Update or remove the incorrect link on your website, then use **Re-crawl** to check the result. You can sort the table and use **Columns** to keep the details you need visible.

The interactive example contains nine links: six working and three broken. Try the filters to find the pages that need attention. In your own report, the counts describe that crawl and its chosen scope; they do not guarantee that every page or future link is error-free.
