# Fix or remove broken external links

Broken links provide a poor user experience and can signal to search engines that your content is outdated or poorly maintained.

## Quick Reference

- Regularly scan for external links returning 4xx or 5xx error codes
- Update broken links to the new correct URL or remove them entirely
- Avoid linking to expired domains that may have been repurposed

## Check

Scan the page for any external links that lead to 404 pages or other error states.
