• What is a broken link

A broken link refers to a hyperlink on a webpage that is either invalid or contains a syntax error. When users click on a broken link, the target page usually fails to display, making it difficult for users to find the information they need. Identifying and fixing broken links is highly beneficial for improving the accuracy and reliability of the website's information.

Ex：When a specific option on a webpage is clicked and results in an HTTP 404 error, indicating that the page cannot be found, this is referred to as a broken link.

• Solutions：You can correct data on pages that have links to the affected URL, or verify if the data associated with the broken link is accurate.
