## Broken links

Passing looks like: Broken links passes.

**Why it matters.** A link to a 404 page is a dead end for visitors and a wasted crawl for search engines. Old campaign or product pages are the usual cause.

**How to fix it.**

1. Update or remove each link listed in the technical detail; redirect the missing pages if they still get visits.
2. In WordPress, a plugin such as Broken Link Checker finds these site-wide.
