Quick answer: An internal link checker maps connections between pages reached during a crawl. Mayexa helps inspect broken destinations and relative link structure so important content is easier to find. The graph represents the fetched portion of a website rather than every URL that could exist.

Open Internal Link Map & Broken Link Checker to inspect its current options and availability.

Understand the method before choosing an action

Use descriptive link text that explains the destination in context. A tool guide should link to its working tool, and the tool can link back to an explanatory guide. This gives visitors a useful next step and helps discovery without building repetitive keyword lists in every footer.

A practical example to work through

If a tutorial links to a renamed tool URL, inspect whether the old address redirects to the correct replacement or fails. Update the tutorial to the final destination when possible. If a service page is reachable only through search, add a relevant navigation or contextual link rather than assuming a sitemap replaces the user journey.

Use the Mayexa workspace

  1. Sign in with an email-verified free Mayexa account and review availability and daily limits.
  2. Choose the relevant task in this product workspace. Enter only the public website, page, business or prompt details it requests.
  3. Read the processing disclosure and submit only if the required integration is available. A disconnected provider cannot return live data.
  4. Review the evidence, source and timestamp alongside the explanation. Treat unavailable checks separately from confirmed failures.
  5. Verify proposed changes before applying them. Save a report only when you want it retained with your account.

Limits, privacy and interpretation

A timeout is not the same as a confirmed broken link. A bounded crawl can miss orphan pages, and a PageRank-style internal metric is a local calculation rather than Google's PageRank. Confirm findings on the live destination before deleting content or creating redirects, especially for pages outside your control.

A free email-verified Mayexa account is required. Public explanations remain accessible without signing in. Daily limits apply; unconfigured providers are shown as unavailable.
