SEO

Broken Link Checker Playbook.

Crawls about 50 pages with Firecrawl. Without it, the crawl starts at 25. It checks each link's status and redirect chain from your site and ranks problems by search impact. Rewrites a link only when it redirects to a working final address and appears in just one post or page. Dead links with no known replacement are reported, not changed. Menus, widgets and theme links are never touched.

10 steps

The Steps In Order.

  1. Step 01

    Gateway And Site Inventory

    Confirms the connection works, records the setup, checks the site is public and counts published content.

  2. Step 02

    Firecrawl Site Crawl And Link Discovery

    Crawls up to about 50 rendered pages with Firecrawl, or the site's own pages if it is not connected. Link checks stop at 300 internal and 300 outside links.

  3. Step 03

    Onsite Link Extraction And Source Correlation

    Reads the links in your posts and pages and maps each link to the posts it appears in.

  4. Step 04

    Outbound Link Validation Fail Closed

    Checks each outside link and treats any it cannot confirm as unknown rather than broken.

  5. Step 05

    Internal Link And 404 Mapping

    Checks each internal link to find pages that return errors and strand visitors and search engines.

  6. Step 06

    Redirect Chain And Loop Analysis

    Follows redirects to find chains and loops, and records where each one ends.

  7. Step 07

    Mixed Content Detection

    Finds http images, scripts and other resources on https pages that cause browser warnings.

  8. Step 08

    Anomaly Gate And SEO Impact Report

    Ranks the findings by search impact. It turns fixes off if the crawl was capped or incomplete, or if over half the links look broken.

  9. Step 09

    Safety Snapshot And Fix Eligibility

    Rechecks each eligible fix just before it is applied. Changes no content yet.

  10. Step 10

    Apply Reversible Link Fix And Verify

    Updates eligible links one post at a time, checks each edit, restores the post at once if the check fails, and records it so Roll back can undo the run.
