Find broken links before your customers do
We crawl the internal links on your homepage and test each one — anything returning an error gets flagged.

Every homepage link, actually requested
We don’t just list your links — we request each one the way a browser would and record what comes back.
404s and dead ends
Links to deleted products, renamed collections, and retired pages. The classic Shopify pattern: a product is removed, but the homepage banner linking to it stays.
Server errors
5xx responses on linked pages usually mean a broken app proxy or a misconfigured redirect — problems worth knowing about beyond the link itself.
Up to 15 internal links
We test the first 15 same-domain links from your homepage — navigation, banners, featured collections — which is where broken links do the most damage.
No false alarms from bot protection
Stores sometimes rate-limit scanners. We distinguish "this store throttled us" from "this link is genuinely broken," so you don’t chase phantom errors.
Every dead link is a shopper you paid to acquire, lost
Think about how someone reaches a broken link: they were on your store, engaged enough to click deeper — and got a "page not found." That’s the highest-intent traffic you have, hitting a wall. Unlike most conversion problems, this one is binary: the sale that click could have produced is simply gone, and the shopper’s confidence in the rest of your store goes with it.
Search engines take note too. Crawlers that repeatedly hit dead ends through your internal links waste crawl budget and downgrade their picture of your site’s quality. Broken links happen naturally as catalogs evolve — products retire, collections get renamed — which is why checking is a habit, not a one-off.
What fixing dead links recovers
Recovered sales you already earned
Traffic hitting a 404 was already acquired — fixing the link converts existing visitors instead of buying new ones.
Restored shopper confidence
A store where every click works reads as professional. One dead end makes shoppers wonder what else is broken — including checkout.
Healthier crawl signals
Clean internal links help search engines index your full catalog efficiently, which matters most for large stores.
Early warning on deeper issues
A 5xx on a linked page often surfaces a broken app or integration you didn’t know about — the link check is a smoke detector.
Three steps, about ten seconds
Paste your store URL
Any public storefront works — yourstore.com or the myshopify.com address. No login, no install, no admin access.
We scan what visitors see
Our scanner reads your public storefront the same way a browser and a search engine do, and runs every check server-side.

Common questions
Why only homepage links and not my whole site?
This free scan covers the links with the highest traffic exposure — the ones on your front door. A full-site crawl covering thousands of URLs (with automatic redirect creation for anything broken) is what the redirect manager in Bespop SEO does.
A link was flagged but it works in my browser — why?
Usually caching (your browser has an old copy) or geography (the page errors only for some regions). Try it in a private window. If it works there, the error may have been transient — rescan to confirm.
What’s the right fix for a broken link — remove or redirect?
If an equivalent page exists (a successor product, a renamed collection), set up a 301 redirect in Shopify’s URL Redirects so both shoppers and accumulated SEO value land somewhere useful. Only remove the link when there’s genuinely nowhere to send it.
How often should I check?
After any catalog cleanup, collection restructure, or theme change — those are the events that orphan links. A monthly habit is plenty for most stores.
Need full-site link auditing with automatic 301 redirects when products retire? That’s built into Bespop SEO.
