Why does it matter?
Dead links are a problem that affect everyone, from big publishers to small personal blogs.
“They found that this problem affected over half of the articles containing links in the NYT’s catalog going back to 1996, illustrating the problem of link rot and how difficult it is for context to survive on the web.”
“At Least 66.5% of Links to Sites in the Last 9 Years Are Dead (Ahrefs Study on Link Rot)”
“We started with a big goal — to archive the Internet and preserve it for history.”
How it works
We use the existing sitemap that search engines are already using to crawl your website.
