What does a broken link checker do?
A broken link checker requests the links and assets a page references and reports which ones return errors. Pinglyra checks the homepage's internal links and assets, bounded, same-domain and robots-aware, and flags broken images, CSS and JS as well as mixed http-on-https content, so you can fix the problems visitors and clients would otherwise hit.
Broken links and missing images make a site look neglected and frustrate visitors. This free checker scans the homepage's links and assets for 404s and mixed content.
Why broken links matter
A broken homepage image or a dead link signals neglect to clients and visitors, and broken assets can break layout or functionality outright.
- Broken assets break layout and trust
- Dead links frustrate visitors and waste crawl budget
- Mixed content triggers browser security warnings
What this checker reports
- Broken internal links on the homepage
- Broken images, CSS and JS assets

Part of a full website health scan
This tool runs Pinglyra's full free scan, so alongside this check you also see uptime, SSL, DNS, email security, security headers, SEO, performance, links and accessibility - combined into a single 0-100 Website Health Score that shows what to fix first.
Passive and read-only
Every check is passive: Pinglyra only reads what your site already exposes publicly. There is no intrusive scanning, no form submission and no impact on the live site.
