How do I go about fixing broken links on my website.
I am using an seo program that is telling me I have broken links, internal and external. I want to fix but don't understand how.

Our Photo-Gallery Page is refusing to publish. It says it publishes, but when visiting the site--- PAGE NOT FOUND.
I have attempted to publish the page repeatedly for the past few hours, but keep having the same result. Page not found. Yet when I log into our site builder, the page is still there and constructed exactly as planned.

Hello, we have tried every trick that is recommended by the help articles but the website www.greatamericanplumbing.com still will not come up. We redirected the original URL to the new website, and it is showing on the backend but we can't seem to make it actually come live. Please help!
