What is the meaning of Broken Links?

[fdrix]

A broken link or a dead link is a text hyperlink that when clicked doesn't connect you to a web page, instead, it often produces an error page. The most common broken link is the 404 error page. Clickable image links or links to images that don't work are also considered broken links. It takes time to find and repair them but doing so gives the impression your site is being looked after and it also improves the user experience as readers can find their way around your site more easily. When links are fixed, it also has seo benefits, for it is then possible for search engine spiders to follow these links to your pages and index them. Repairing links is also a way to update your web pages and encourages spiders to return which all helps improve your site's rankings.

Broken links are links that lead to pages that do not exist. When clicking on a broken link, the page you land on is called a 404 error page, a standard HTTP response that indicates that the requested URL doesn’t exist.
