## Identifying

Honestly, when you're knee-deep in a content audit and the reports keep spitting out those dreaded 404s, it feels like you're hunting ghosts, right? You know that moment when you see a link that *should* be pointing to that killer case study, but instead, you just get a server error—it’s frustrating because the broken link itself isn't the problem; it’s the clue to a deeper mess. We’ve got to look past the surface-level error code and figure out *why* it broke in the first place, because nine times out of ten, it’s not just one thing. Sometimes, content gets pulled down because the product it talked about was retired, or maybe someone just quietly deleted the page without setting up a proper redirect, which is a massive oversight if you ask me. Other times, especially if you’ve been through a site migration—and I know a few folks who are currently sweating those checklists—the URL structure just got scrambled in the move. Think about it this way: if you move all your books to a new shelf but forget to update the library card catalog, nobody’s going to find *Moby Dick* again, no matter how well-written it is. We need to trace those broken paths back to the source of the change, whether that was a CMS update, a platform switch, or just lazy content governance over time.
