Link Checker

Tool Introduction

Link Checker is a free online tool that scans any web page and lists every link found. It separates internal links (same domain) from external links (other domains), identifies nofollow attributes, and surfaces anchor text — all in one searchable table.

Use it for SEO audits, internal link structure reviews, and competitor research. No signup required. Enter a URL, click Analyze, and results appear in seconds.

Usage Steps

Step 1: Enter the page URL

Paste the full URL of the page you want to analyze into the input field. Include the protocol (https://).

Step 2: Run the analysis

Click Analyze. The tool fetches the page and extracts all link data.

Step 3: Review the results

Check the summary counts at the top — total, internal, external, and nofollow links. Use the searchable table below to inspect individual links by HREF, anchor text, and rel attributes.

Feature Highlights

• Separates internal links (same domain) from external links instantly
• Detects nofollow, sponsored, and ugc rel attributes on each link
• Displays full anchor text alongside every link
• Searchable table — filter by URL, anchor text, or link type
• Summary count bar for quick overview at a glance
• Works on any publicly accessible URL — no login needed
• Fast results with no rate limits for casual use

Output Rules

Each analyzed page produces:

• Summary counts: total links, internal count, external count, nofollow count
• Link table: one row per link with HREF, anchor text, rel attributes, and link type (internal / external)
• Results include all <a href> elements found in the HTML at time of fetch

Pages behind login, paywalls, or bot protection may return incomplete results.

Best Practices

• Run link checker before and after a site redesign to catch broken internal navigation
• Use descriptive anchor text instead of generic "click here" — the tool highlights missing or duplicate anchors
• After getting the link list, pass external links through the Dead Link Checker to verify they still resolve
• For a full SEO audit, combine this tool with the Backlink Checker to see who links to you

Use Cases

• SEO Audit: Verify internal and external link balance before publishing or after a redesign
• Broken Link Prep: Export the link list as a starting point for dead link checking
• Competitor Research: Understand where competitors link externally and which pages they prioritize internally
• Navigation QA: Confirm that main navigation and footer links are implemented correctly
• Content Linking: Identify pages with too few internal links that may need contextual link additions
• Nofollow Audit: Review which outbound links pass authority and which do not

FAQs

What is a nofollow link?

A nofollow link has rel="nofollow" in its HTML, which instructs search engines not to pass authority (PageRank) to the target page. Sponsored and UGC links use similar rel values (rel="sponsored", rel="ugc").

Why are internal links important for SEO?

Internal links help search engines understand your site's structure and distribute authority to important pages. Pages with more internal links pointing to them are typically seen as higher-priority by crawlers.

Does this tool check if links are broken?

No — it lists all links found on the page. To verify whether those links actually resolve, use the Dead Link Checker.

Why might some links be missing from the results?

Links loaded by JavaScript after the initial page render may not appear, since the tool fetches static HTML. Links inside iframes are also not included.

Can I check pages that require a login?

No. The tool can only access publicly available pages. Password-protected or paywalled content will not return full link data.

How is this different from a backlink checker?

This tool analyzes links on a page — both the internal links pointing to other pages of the same site and the external links pointing out. A Backlink Checker shows links from other websites pointing to your pages.
