Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with some internal links on my website that seem to be broken. The links sometimes result in 404 errors and I’m not sure what’s causing it or how to fix them efficiently. Has anyone dealt with this before? Any tips for identifying and resolving these broken links would be appreciated!
hey, i’ve been there too. once, after tweaking my site design, i noticed some internal links were off because a few url slugs changed without me catching it right away. i ended up checking the cms history to see what got updated and fixed them manually. have you tried tracing back your recent updates? sometimes it’s the little changes that throw stuff off.
Hey, I remember running into similar issues with broken internal links on one of my niche sites. It wasn’t just about search rankings—it was directly cutting into my revenue because potential customers couldn’t get to key selling pages. I ended up using a mix of manual checks and a crawling tool I trust to catch any 404s right when they happened. Have you noticed any pattern or specific pages that keep failing? Might be worth checking your URL structure or any recent changes you made. Always happy to chat about these conversion drop pitfalls!
I had a similar issue a while back. For me, the trick was to systematically track down where the broken links were coming from. I started by checking if there were any recent site changes or updates that might have altered URLs. Sometimes a caching issue or a simple typo in the CMS could be the culprit. I also installed a redirection plugin to temporarily manage those 404 errors until I could update all the links properly. Give it a try and see if you can pinpoint any recent changes that might have led to the problem.
I’ve had some issues like this in the past and one thing that worked well was taking a close look at your site’s structure and URL changes. Sometimes the culprit is a simple change like adding or removing a slash at the end of a URL, which can throw off all your links. What I did was run a full site crawl with a tool like ScreamingFrog, then checked Google Search Console for any reported 404s. Once I spotted the pattern, I either fixed the links directly in the content or set up 301 redirects if the URL was meant to be permanent. It might also be worth taking a look at any recent changes in your CMS or plugins that were updated. Correcting these small details went a long way in resolving the issue for me.
