How to Fix Broken URLs - Step by Step Guide
Paste Your Broken URL(s)
Got broken URLs (RFC 3986) that aren't working? Whether it's a missing protocol, broken query string, or encoding issue — let's fix it! After fixing, validate with our URL validator, use our URL encoder, or parse the URL. Paste your problematic URLs:
Paste broken URLs: Copy malformed links from your web apps, API endpoints, redirect chains, or marketing campaigns
Fix common errors: Automatically repairs missing protocols, double slashes, broken query parameters, spaces, bad percent-encoding, and more
Fix multiple URLs: Paste one URL or many (one per line) — each is fixed independently
Common URL issues include missing https:// protocol, spaces in paths, double slashes, broken query strings with duplicate ampersands, and improperly encoded special characters.

URL Best Practices
Always use HTTPS: Modern browsers flag HTTP sites as insecure. Use HTTPS for all URLs as recommended by web.dev security guidelines
Percent-encode special characters: Always encode spaces (%20), dollar signs (%24), ampersands (%26), and other reserved characters in URLs
Use our URL tools: Encode parameters with our URL encoder, build query strings with our query string builder, or track campaigns with our UTM builder
Keep URLs clean and readable: Use hyphens instead of underscores, lowercase letters, and avoid unnecessary parameters for better SEO and crawlability
Frequently Asked Questions
What URL errors can this fixer repair?
The fixer handles common URL issues including missing or broken protocol schemes (http/https), double slashes in paths, spaces and unencoded special characters, broken query string syntax (duplicate ampersands, missing question marks), malformed percent-encoding, broken port numbers, and mixed-up query/fragment order as defined in RFC 3986.
How do I fix a broken URL online?
Simply paste your broken URL(s) into the editor above — one URL per line if you have multiple.
