Broken Link Error Codes
Let’s briefly understand some common error codes:
- 404 – Not Found: The requested page or resource is missing or mistyped.
- 403 – Forbidden: The server refuses access, often due to permission issues.
- 500 – Internal Server Error: A server-side problem affecting the request.
- 410 – Gone: Similar to 404 but indicates intentional removal.
- 301 – Moved Permanently: Not an error, but a redirect indicating a permanent move.
What is a Broken Link? Identifying and Fixing Broken Link
Broken link, also known as a dead link or a dangling link, refers to a hyperlink that points to a webpage, resource, or file that no longer exists or is unreachable. In other words, when you click on a broken link, you will encounter an error message or a “404 Not Found” page instead of being directed to the intended content.
