i want to give you a suggestion about the internal links of your blog, which will prevent error link problem in future.

When inserting any internal link in post, write it without domain link. As example, https://www.webmasterbn.xyz is my domain link and "/2020/10/fletro-amp-v52-gpl-webmasterbn.html" is the post link. The full link is https://www.webmasterbn.xyz/2020/10/fletro-amp-v52-gpl-webmasterbn.html. You just have to write post/page link as like

<a href="/2020/10/fletro-amp-v52-gpl-webmasterbn.html">Fletro Amp v5.2 GPL Blogger Template</a>

Just like that you can overcome the broken link problem of your blog. If you face any problem or have any question please write down in comment section.
