How Duda’s Site Link Audit Tool Improves SEO

6 March 2025

Broken links create frustration for users and weaken a website’s performance in search rankings. Visitors expect links to work, and search engines favor well-maintained sites. Duda’s Site Link Audit Tool simplifies the process of identifying and fixing broken links, helping businesses keep their websites in top shape.

How the Site Link Audit Tool Works

Duda’s tool scans a website to find broken internal and external links. The system categorizes each issue, displaying where broken links appear and providing quick options for fixing them. Instead of manually clicking through pages to find errors, users can address problems from one central location.

Why Fixing Broken Links Matters

Links play a key role in how search engines understand and rank websites. When links break, search engines may see the site as outdated or poorly maintained. Internal links help connect pages, spreading ranking power across the site. External links point to outside sources, showing search engines that the site references valuable information.



Broken links also affect user experience. Clicking on a link that leads to an error page creates frustration. If visitors run into too many dead ends, they may leave the site, increasing bounce rates and reducing engagement.

Best Practices for Maintaining Links

Fixing broken links keeps a site running smoothly and helps retain visitors. Internal links should connect relevant pages, making it easier for users to find information. If an external link stops working, it may be worth finding another reliable source.


When a link breaks, there are two main options. If the page no longer exists and has no replacement, removing the link prevents unnecessary errors. If a page has moved, updating the link directs users to the correct location.



Regular link audits prevent small issues from becoming widespread problems. Running a check after launching a website catches any lingering issues. A routine scan keeps everything in order long after the site goes live.

Bottom Line

Broken links hurt both user experience and search rankings. Duda’s Site Link Audit Tool makes it easier to spot and fix these problems, keeping websites clean and professional. As the tool continues to evolve, it will provide even more value for businesses focused on improving their online presence.

Animating Vision: How RivalMind Brings Stories to Life on Social Media

by Jessica Goodrum • 21 May 2025
Human beings are wired to create. Imagination isn’t just a tool; it’s a reflection of our inner world. That’s why animation resonates so deeply with us. Even the simplest animated post has the power to spark emotion, tell a story, and forge connection. At RivalMind, we’ve seen how animation can bridge the gap between a brand’s vision and its story. It brings static ideas to life in ways that feel fresh, engaging, and aligned with today’s fast-moving digital landscape. As our clients' needs for social media and web-based animations grew, we recognized it was time to evolve our approach. Previously, we relied on Adobe Illustrator and After Effects to create custom animations. While these tools produced quality results, the time and effort required made it difficult to offer motion design as a scalable, accessible solution. We asked ourselves a simple question, "How can we create high-quality animations efficiently, without compromising creativity?"
