A linked page did not load
3%
of the 3,044 free scans considered in the last 30 days raised this finding. That is 90 scans across 90 distinct sites. 95% interval 1% to 8.8%.
What it means
A broken internal link sends both visitors and crawlers to a dead end.
How to fix it
Fix the inner pages that failed to load. A linked page returning a 404 or a 500 costs you the crawl budget spent on it and the visitor who clicked it.
How to check it yourself
Click through the site's internal links, or run curl -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' on each one, and note any that return a 404 or 500.
What fixed looks like
Each internal link you follow loads a real page instead of a 404 or 500.
How we measured this
Go Voltic scans a site and records which findings it raises. The share above is over every free four-page scan in the last 30 days that loaded at least one page, which is 3,044 scans. Deep scans of paid reports and of the research sweep read a site at a different depth and are a separate population, never in this denominator. It is not a survey and it is not an estimate: it is a count of what our own scanner found. Sites are counted once each in the distinct-sites figure, so a site scanned twice does not weigh double there.
The interval is a 95% Wilson interval. A share printed without its sample size reads as certainty and is indistinguishable from a guess, so both are always shown. Figures on this page were computed on 2026-09-08.
The same share sits beside every other finding on the benchmarks page, which also carries the whole table as CSV and JSON and says how to cite it.

The free scan reads four pages and reports every finding it raises, including this one. It takes about ten seconds and asks for nothing but the address.
