How to find broken links of a site effectively?

[frank]

Use services like 'Screaming Frog'. To avail all the features you must buy it. But it also comes for free. Yeah, limited resources in the free edition. But they will find you the broken links.

There are a number of tools you can use to identify broken links, many of them free.
ex : Google Analytics, Xenu
Create a report and track your changes
Analyze data and decide which pages should be redirected
Redirect in CMS

Repeat the above process to redirect all the broken links and update the Broken Link Redirect Report.
Mission accomplished!

I don't prefer Xenu. Have tried it though, didn't like it.

Xenu is good. But many people just don't trust it.

I am guessing that you have already tried some methods. What are they exactly?

[ani2002]

I have used Xenu only.

[zeus]

I will suggest that you download the free version of Screaming Frog. It will get your job done.

You don't have to buy. You can try it for free as suggested earlier.

You can also try 'SEO Crawler Tool'. It is also available for free for anyone to try.
