Broken link monitoring: Every link checked. Every Monday.

A weekly sweep of dead internal and external links across every page. It checks each unique URL once on your live site, and reports what is genuinely dead rather than what merely refused a bot.

Every Monday

It runs on its own,
and tells you what it found.

One weekly pass over every published page, on every plan. No model is called, so the run costs nothing but the requests it makes. The row on Scheduled Tasks carries the last result in full: how many links died, how many were internal, how many could not be verified. Run it sooner from the same menu.

A status code is not a verdict

Blocked is not dead,
so it is reported as neither.

Each unique URL is checked once, eight at a time, twelve seconds each. HEAD first, then GET when the server refuses HEAD. A 401, 403, 429 or LinkedIn's 999 lands in a separate unverified bucket that never counts toward the broken total, and the big social hosts are never judged on a status code at all.

Findings land in Issues as a single row, Broken links to other sites: worth fixing, technical. Open it and you get every affected page, the anchor text a reader clicks, and the URL it leads to. The sweep owns this row, so it clears its own findings and re-files them every week rather than stacking duplicates.

Copies a ready-to-send task for your developer or agency: what's wrong, where, and the fix.

Named, not edited

A dead SEC link is not
the same as a dead blog link.

Citations to regulators, courts and journals get their own stricter check, scored under E-E-A-T rather than technical, and only a confirmed 404 or 410 puts one there. Neither check changes anything on its own. For a dead link you pick: point it at a working address, or take the link out and keep the words. For a moved official source, Verand finds the document’s new address on the same agency’s site and shows it to you first. Each change reaches the live page only after you approve it.

Problem

A citation to an official source no longer works.

Why it matters

Official sources are what make advice credible. A dead one undercuts the claim it supports.

Fix

Link to the source's current page. Sources Backfill can find it.

How it works

Four steps, none of them yours.

The whole run is HTTP. No model reads your pages, and nothing is written back.

Questions

What people ask about the weekly sweep.

What it checks, what it refuses to call broken, and what it will never do to your site.

How often does the sweep run?

Every Monday at 09:00 UTC, on every plan including Starter. You can also start one from the routine's menu on Scheduled Tasks: on-demand runs are capped at ten per billing period on Starter, thirty on Growth, a hundred on Professional and three hundred on Agency, with ten minutes between runs of the same routine.

Which links does it check?

Every anchor link on every published page, internal and external. Not preconnect or stylesheet tags, not in-page fragment anchors, and not mailto, tel or javascript targets. Each link is resolved against the page it sits on, so relative paths and protocol-relative URLs are checked properly. The page list comes from the crawl, and falls back to your sitemap when the site has not been crawled yet.

What counts as broken?

A 404, a 410, any other 4xx or 5xx, or a connection that fails outright. The check is a HEAD request first, then a GET when the server answers 405, 501 or 403, because plenty of CDNs and WordPress hosts refuse HEAD. Redirects are followed, so a 301 that lands on a live page is not a broken link. To trace a redirect chain hop by hop, use the free redirect checker.

What about sites that just block bots?

They are reported as unverified, and unverified never counts as broken. A 401, 403, 429 or LinkedIn's 999 means we could not check, not that the link is dead. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, TikTok and YouTube are never given a verdict from a status code at all, so your own social profiles are never called broken.

Does Verand fix the links for me?

Only with your approval, one link at a time. The row names the page, the anchor text and the destination. You choose to point the link at a working address, take it out and keep the words, or, for a page of your own on WordPress with the Connector, redirect the dead address. For a moved official source, Verand finds the document’s new address on the same agency’s site and shows it to you before anything changes. Each change is applied to the live page and checked there.

What does a broken link cost the page?

Roughly three points off that page's SEO score per dead outbound link, capped at fifteen, and about forty percent of that off Overall. The penalty is applied from the last crawl's own baseline, so repeated sweeps never compound it, and the next crawl resets it.
