Auditing 404s & Canonicals

Diagnose Broken Links & Redirect Chains

Finding Broken Internal Links (404s)

Click on the "Status Codes → 4xx Client Error" filter. Click any broken URL to view the exact referring source pages and specific anchor texts that contain the broken link.

Tracing Redirect Chains (301/302)

Multi-hop redirect chains waste search engine crawl budget. CheapCrawler draws a visual hop chain diagram showing every intermediate URL until the final 200 OK destination.

Canonical Tag Auditing

Detect non-self-referential canonicals, cross-domain canonical loops, and conflicts between canonical tags and noindex directives.
