Using InSite couldn’t be easier. All you really need to do is enter in your website’s URL. InSite crawls your own site page by page searching for broken links, spelling errors as well as more.

Validating and fixing broken links does more than just help your visitors. Google uses broken hyperlinks on your own website as one of the top quality indicators. More broken links means a disused or unmaintained website. This tells Google that the website is of low quality as well as can hurt your own search ranking. If your spending good time and income on SEO, then finding and fixing the broken links on your own site should be on your own TO-DO list.
