If you have ever searched the internet for anything, you are likely to have occasionally come up against a screen that reads ‘Page Not Found’ or ‘Error: Link Not Found’. This is commonly referred to as 404 error.

Why does this happen? For quite a few reasons, including:

- When a site is moved from one domain to another, links can get broken.
- External links may lead to pages that do not exist any more.
- The domain may no longer exist.
- Proper hosting may no longer be maintained.
- The firewall settings may be different.
- URLs may be written wrongly.

There are many tools for checking broken links on your site and most of them are free.
