They allow your website\u2019s visitors to easily move from one webpage to another, simply by clicking on a link. This allows you to structure your website in a way that\u2019s much easier to understand. Visitors can move around your website quickly and view only the content they may find helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the time we take links for granted. A visitor clicks a link and it takes them exactly where they want to go. But that\u2019s not always how it works. If you\u2019re not careful links can break entirely, sending visitors to pages with errors, which causes confusion and erodes their trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can avoid situations where broken links exist by checking your website regularly. We recommend checking for broken links at least one per month, as well as before and after you launch a new website. The process outlined below shows you how to check your website using a third-party tool, so you\u2019re not going through your website page by page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"helpful-terminology\">Helpful Terminology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A <strong>broken link <\/strong>takes visitors to a location where a page no longer exists.
