How To Check Broken Bookmarks with Screaming Frog

Bookmarks are a useful way to link users to a specific part of a webpage using named anchors on a link, also referred to as ‘jump links’, ‘named anchors’ and ‘skip links’. Broken bookmarks can be found with the help of the Screaming Frog tool.

When the link is clicked, the page will scroll to the location with the bookmark.
