Hello there! You probably know that if your site have a lot of inactive URLs, in other words such that point to a 404 error, that means that Google will push them down in the ranking compared to a site that doesn't have.

So here comes my question: how can I check (with an online app or a software) which are the inactive URL-s and links that point to nowhere?

I remember that before I was using a software program called Screaming Frog SEO spider, but the free version allows cawing only 500 URLs, and I'm still not willing to pay for the full.

Is there any other tool that I can use or can somehow change the settings of that one so it only craws and points me the 404 URLs only.

Thanks ;)

You have to check your Google Webmaster tools to find all 404 error pages.

Utilize Google Webmasters Tool, and you can see the 404 blunder pages there or you can likewise utilize the SEOProfiler for the same. Also, 404 blunder pages nothing to do with positioning specifically yet has the awful effect on the client encounter.

I prefer Link Miner to check the 404 or dead URLs on the website.
