Why Ghost sites break links
Post slug edits
Editing a post slug changes its URL. Internal links and shared links to the old slug start returning 404.
Unpublished posts
Reverting a post to draft or deleting it removes the page, breaking every link that pointed to it.
External link rot
News and reference links in long-form posts are especially prone to dying as sources move or shut down.
Missing images
Images removed from your content or a rotated storage bucket show up as broken across old posts.
Tag restructuring
Renaming or merging tags changes archive URLs, breaking links to tag pages in menus and posts.
Theme & snippet links
Hard-coded links in your Ghost theme or injected snippets are never validated and rot unnoticed.

Ghost broken link checker — FAQ
Does Ghost have a broken link checker?
No. Ghost has no native tool to crawl your publication for broken links. You need an external scanner to verify links and images across all your posts and pages.
Does it work with self-hosted and Ghost(Pro)?
Yes. We crawl the public HTML of your site, so it works the same on self-hosted Ghost and Ghost(Pro), on any theme.
Will it check images in my posts?
Yes. We verify image sources — including those served from external or cloud storage — so you catch missing media across old content.
Can I monitor a Ghost blog automatically?
Yes. Paid plans schedule recurring scans and email you when a new broken link appears in your publication.
