Finding a dead link

[AidanLCFC]

Was playing around in google WMT yesterday and noticed google can't crawl a page because basically it doesn't exist because somewhere on the site I have added a link with the wrong address. This didn't used to be a problem because WMT used to tell you what page linked to the wrong address, it doesn't seem to show this anymore.
I'm assuming Screaming Frog would be able to find where the dead link is coming from but no idea how to find it.
Anyone know a quick way to find the dead link?

I use this tool. It scans every page on the site but tells you which page has broken links on

You could try this site. It will find dead links and if you click on the full report it will show what page the DL is.

cheers dudes, much appreciated

Pretty sure ahrefs can find it as well if you're not having any luck with the others (if you don't have a subscription just pop me over the URL and I'll run it for you).

Try this one

https://validator.w3.org/checklink?uri=

 

[baldidiot]

online-bookies.org.uk/online-casino-offers

It's not showing in any reports I'm afraid - says no internal links to that URL (but perhaps it just hasn't crawled the page with it on?).

 

[BetOnlineUK]

Try this one

https://validator.w3.org/checklink?uri=

I tried that on bettingoffers.bet and get a Error: 503 Service Unavailable. Yet I know the site loads. Any ideas?

Thanks buddy, that is why it is strange that I get that error when trying to validate. You start to get paranoid that it will affect rankings etc...

I get the same 503 error for your bettingoffers site but your BookieRewards site works. 5.xx are server side errors and not client side (browsers or a site making the request).

Thxs @slotplayer so I really need to go to the hosting company and ask them why it is returning a 503 error.

Not worried just seemed weird thats all. Good news on the dog, bet he's been watching the cricket with you. Is it a puppy?

You could ask them, but I would not worry about it if its that one site.
