# Broken link monitoring

Broken links send your visitors and search engines into dead ends. Ranetrace scans any website for broken internal and external links, shows the exact page each one sits on with its status code, and tracks what broke and what got fixed. Fix the source, run a fresh audit, and watch the list go green.

## Catch dead links before your visitors do

Broken links quietly hurt your SEO and frustrate the people who hit them. Regular scans keep your site free of dead ends.

- **Broken link detection**: Scan your entire site for broken links automatically. Catch 404 errors before they hurt your SEO and frustrate users.
- **Internal and external links**: Both your own pages and the sites you link out to are checked. A partner changing their URLs will not go unnoticed.
- **Status codes**: See exactly how each link fails: 404, timeout, or server error. Know whether the fix is yours to make.
- **Found-on pages**: Every broken link comes with the pages it sits on, so you can go straight to the source and fix it.
- **Link change tracking**: See which links broke recently and which were fixed. Track link health over time with historical data.
- **Audit history**: Step through past audits and compare them. See how your link health develops from scan to scan.
- **Run on demand**: Fixed something? Trigger a fresh audit and confirm it is gone instead of waiting for the next scheduled run.
- **Broken link alerts**: Get notified when new broken links are found, and when they are resolved. No need to keep checking the report.

## And it loves Laravel and PHP


This check works on any website, no code required. Add the Ranetrace SDK to a Laravel or PHP app and the same site also gets [error tracking](https://ranetrace.com/features/error-monitoring.md), logs, and events from the inside, in the same dashboard where every check adds context to the others. Both SDKs also catch the JavaScript errors on your sites' frontends.
