How to Find and Fix Broken Internal Links in Bulk

Broken internal links frustrate users and waste crawl budget — but scanning hundreds of pages manually is impossible. With Summrly, you can detect and repair broken internal links across your entire site in minutes. Just enter your topic or sitemap, and AI will scan your content, identify dead links, and suggest or generate working replacements — keeping your site clean, crawlable, and user-friendly.

Why a Content-First Website Solves This

Most broken link tools only report errors — they don’t fix them. Summrly goes further. Starting with your content, AI analyzes each link’s context and purpose, then finds the best live replacement (e.g., a newer article on the same topic). This restores link equity, improves navigation, and boosts SEO — all without manual research or guesswork.

Step-by-Step Guide

Create Your First Topic – Enter your main category or upload your sitemap to begin scanning.
Set Up Your Content Focus – Choose “link audit” mode to prioritize broken link detection.
Add Keywords – Include core topics to help AI find relevant replacement pages.
Brand Details – Add your current content library for accurate link matching.
Complete Setup – Export or implement AI-suggested fixes to repair all broken links.

Enter your topic below to find and fix broken internal links — and keep your site running smoothly.
