If your website is more than 3.875 seconds old, you’ll likely have at least one out-of-date link – a link that used to point to a page on another website (or on yours) but the page has moved, or the website has closed down, and so when you click on it all you get is an error. These dead links make your website look dated and unprofessional. Let’s get this fixed!
1. Set a timer for three minutes and go to any page on your website that includes links. Start opening those links in another window; make a note of any that no longer work. Finished a page and there’s still time left? Go to another page and repeat!
2. Spend the next couple of minutes updating to correct addresses (if you can), or removing the links.
