Fixing broken links with the Link Editor for Shopify

If you find yourself having incorrect or outdated links in your store which leaves your visitors stuck with a "Page Not Found" error (404 Error) with no idea where to go next, the Link Manager app has the ability to track missing page errors and fix them quickly, but first we need to identify these broken links.

Identifying Broken Links

• Once you open the Link Manager app, you will see a report of recent 'Page Not Found' errors and how many redirects you have in your shop.
• If you click on View Errors button, it will show up a list of Missing Page errors where you can fix them by filling out the Redirect To field with the right URL.
• You can also manage your redirects by clicking on Manage Redirects button.
