Link rot indicates that the pages become either inaccessible or relocated, thus making broken links. Websites keep changing over the years with new updating of the content, and sometimes these URLs do not work anymore. This, too, makes it a point for broken links that lead to your website, in turn affecting the link equity and user experience. Checking broken links now and then would help, just as redirect implementation on them. Regularly checking for broken links along with implementing redirection can alleviate link rot effects.
