Description: Link checking is the process of verifying the validity and functionality of links within a website. This procedure is crucial for maintaining the integrity and usability of a website, as broken links can negatively impact user experience and SEO (search engine optimization). During link checking, links that do not work are identified, whether because the destination page has been removed, the URL has changed, or there are connection issues. This process not only involves detecting broken links but also evaluating external links that may have changed their status. Link checking can be performed manually, but there are automated tools that facilitate this task, allowing website administrators to conduct link audits more efficiently. In a digital environment where information is dynamic, regular link checking becomes an essential practice to ensure that users have access to relevant and updated content, which in turn contributes to the credibility and authority of the website in its specific niche.
