Broken Link Detection
Find broken links before your visitors.
Broken links damage your SEO rankings and frustrate your users. Pulsewise crawls your entire site like a search engine, finding dead links, mixed content, and slow pages — then alerts you before Google or your customers notice.

A single broken link might seem harmless. But across your site, dead links compound into a serious problem. Google penalises sites with excessive 404 errors — tanking your rankings across your entire domain, not just the broken pages.
Meanwhile, every visitor who hits a dead link bounces. They don't dig deeper to find what they were looking for — they leave. CMS content changes, code deployments, external URL changes, and missing redirects all silently create broken links over time.
Impact of broken links
SEO penalties
Google demotes sites with excessive 404s across your entire domain.
Lost visitors
Users who hit a 404 leave immediately — they don't search for alternatives.
Lost revenue
Every broken product page, checkout link, or CTA is money left on the table.
Support burden
Confused customers submit tickets about pages that no longer exist.
We crawl your site like Google does
Pulsewise crawls your entire website automatically, following every link — internal and external — just like a search engine. We check every page, image, script, and stylesheet for broken references. No manual scans to run, no tools to install, no spreadsheets to maintain.
Modern browsers actively block mixed content on HTTPS pages — HTTP resources can disable your JavaScript, break images, and block form submissions. Pulsewise catches every mixed content issue alongside broken links in a single crawl.
