What is the difference between dead link and broken link?

In my opinion "dead link" leads to a page (domain) that does not exist. "Broken link" has an invalid link structure. For example, he has a typo in the address or leads to a subpage that does not exist.

The term dead link and broken link are often used interchangeably but they are different. A dead link is a link that did work when first created but then the page linked to it disappears. ... A user will visit your site, click the dead link and see that the page has gone. This is sometimes referred to as a 404 page.
