What are the broken links?

Broken links are those links that are expired from your website or those links that are not properly working URLs on your site.

Further, a broken link is a link, upon clicking on which the server gives users a 404 error (the message “the page does not exist or was not found”). The links, images, or web documents that users are looking for maybe missing at all or “lost” due to server crashes or incorrect site settings.

If traffic decreases and visitors do not linger on the site, look for broken links. Most likely, they deteriorate the ranking in the SERP. Broken links should be internal and that leads to a non-existent site, page, or file.

Further, when the search robots Google monitor resources from their databases and analyze content, they click on broken links and see errors.

If the robot receives code 410, it understands that the page does not exist and that it is no longer necessary to analyze it. Code 404 tells the search engine that the page may have been before, but now it is not.

In this case, during the next analysis, the robot will check it again and record the fact of absence.

Error 404 may also be displayed when the server issues a 200 response code (everything is OK, the page is there), but in fact, it is empty or missing. That answer is called “404 SOFT.”

This happens when a non-existent page does not return a 404 code or does not redirect to a relevant page.
