Questions, answered
Will it automatically fix or redirect the broken links?
No. It gives you the prioritised list but leaves all fixes to you - broken links affect real visitors, so a human should decide the right redirect or replacement for each one.
Does it check external links too, or only internal ones?
Both. Ahrefs Site Audit catches broken outbound links as well as internal 404s, and the report separates them so you can tackle each type.
How do I know which broken links matter most?
WebRun cross-references Search Console impressions so the list is ranked - the broken pages still appearing in search results come first.
