18/01/24 Problems with external Links Problems with external links that are broken or redirect to another page Optimization Tips Updated with new video tutorial This analysis provides an overview of problematic external links on your website. Why you should fix problems with external links: Linking to external sites is usually a good idea, as it adds value to your content by providing related resources for your visitors. This is also a sign of quality for search engines. After all, there are no scientific studies or articles without references. However, external links that point to inaccessible or redirecting pages with different content than expected can lead to a poor user experience. Therefore, you should remove them as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it is not possible to prevent problems with external links in advance, as you usually do not have any control over the content of the linked pages. However, as soon as you see any new problems here, you should check the links and update them if necessary. You can find more best practices for external links in our wiki. What the notes in the "Problems" column mean: Bad HTTP status code: The server of the page you are linking to returns an error code when the URL is requested. You can find an overview of the meaning of the various HTTP status codes here. Page is down: The server of the linked page did not respond at the time the URL was requested. Possible causes: server problems, the Seobility bot is blocked from accessing the page. Redirect: The linked page redirects to a different URL. Parked domain: The linked website is no longer online and the domain has been put up for sale. Domain not connected: The domain you are linking to is not connected to a web server and is therefore not serving any content. How to fix these problems: First, do a manual check of the links in this list in your browser. In this way, you can rule out that the problem was temporary or that only the Seobility bot was blocked from accessing the page. If the link does not lead to the desired content when manually checking, you should remove or replace the link. The list shows on which pages of your site the external link is included. Note: The results of this analysis are cached in Seobility for a few days in order to minimize access to other websites. Consequently, you may see some errors here that no longer exist. Page 37 of 55
