Why outbound links matter
Dead affiliate and partner links waste clicks and erode trust. Search engines notice thin or broken navigational graphs on content sites.
A scheduled sitemap-driven audit is enough for most marketing sites. You do not need a full SEO platform to catch 404 targets.
Run audits on a bound schedule
Crawl workers should batch and time out so serverless functions do not hang. Review broken counts in the dashboard and fix high-traffic pages first.
