You tasked your developers with fixing any broken internal links on your website by removing the links or redirecting the dead (404) URLs. And today, you want to check if there are any broken links&nbsp;left.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you can&nbsp;do:<\/p>\n<p>Run a new crawl and apply the following filters to see which URLs are still returning the 404 HTTP status code:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"748\" height=\"265\" class=\"wp-image-27434\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/previous-current-crawl.png\" alt=\"previous current crawl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/previous-current-crawl.png 748w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/previous-current-crawl-680x241.png 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\"><\/p>\n<p>How cool is&nbsp;that!?<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"show-changes-switch\">6. \u201cShow changes\u201d switch in Data Explorer<\/h2>\n<p>Since we touched on previous crawls, you\u2019ll be glad to know that you can now see what changed between the previous and current crawl for any&nbsp;URL.<\/p>\n<p>Just hit the \u201cShow changes\u201d button in the report.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"329\" class=\"wp-image-27442\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/show-changes.png\" alt=\"show changes\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/show-changes.png 900w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/show-changes-768x281.png 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/show-changes-680x249.png 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\"><\/p>\n<p>You can see the change for every column in Data Explorer.

Multiple seed sources<\/h2>\n<p>Every crawl in Ahrefs Site Audit has a starting point or points that we call seeds. As our crawler finds links on seed pages, it follows them and crawls the linked pages.<\/p>\n<p>You can tell our crawler where to start crawling your website from.

Redirect chain issues<\/h2>\n<p>Redirects are an integral part of many websites.

They are like \u201ctraps\u201d for crawlers and&nbsp;users alike.<\/p>\n<p>In Site Audit, when you click through to the list of affected URLs, you\u2019ll see that each of these reports gives you all the data you need about the redirect chain, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the first redirecting URL<\/li>\n<li>the URLs in the chain, and<\/li>\n<li>the final destination URL<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1506\" height=\"381\" class=\"wp-image-27445\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/pasted-image-0-5.png\" alt=\"pasted image 0 5\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/pasted-image-0-5.png 1506w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/pasted-image-0-5-768x194.png 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/pasted-image-0-5-680x172.png 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1506px) 100vw, 1506px\"><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"enhanced-instructions\">10.
