Common questions and solutions

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: How often should I check for broken links?
A: For active websites: Weekly quick scan, Monthly deep scan. For static websites: Monthly quick scan. E-commerce sites should check daily for critical pages. Use scheduled scanning to automate this process.
Q: What's the difference between 404 and 410 errors?
A: 404 means "Not Found" - the server couldn't find the page. 410 means "Gone" - the page is permanently removed. Both are broken links, but 410 explicitly tells search engines the content won't return.
Q: Can I check links behind login or on localhost?
A: Public link checker tools can only check publicly accessible URLs. For private/local websites, use the tool's API with authentication or consider using a self-hosted solution. For localhost, ensure the site is accessible from the checking server's network.
