Find & Fix Broken Links Before They Hurt Your Users
Vigilant continuously scans your site for 404s and link errors, alerts you, and helps you fix issues before users and Google notice.
Broken Links Quietly Damage Your Website Every Day
Broken links don’t just frustrate users. They signal neglect to search engines, reduce trust, and cost you traffic and conversions until they’re fixed.
Great websites are cared for, start fixing about your broken links.
Frustrated Users & Lower Conversions
Users who hit broken links lose trust and leave, abandoning signups, purchases, or demos.
Lost SEO Rankings
Google penalizes sites with unresolved 404 errors, hurting your rankings and making it harder for new users to find you.
Issues Go Unnoticed for Weeks
Without continuous monitoring, broken links can sit unnoticed, quietly harming SEO and UX until someone complains.
Manual Broken Link Checks vs. Automated Monitoring
Manually checking for broken links might work once but it doesn’t protect your site over time. Automated monitoring catches issues continuously, before they cause damage.
Manual Broken Link Checks
Clicking each link manually on your website.
-
Only catch issues at one point in time
-
Time-consuming and easy to forget
-
