What this link checker shows
Enter any URL and we read every link in the page's HTML. For each one you see the anchor text, the full destination, whether it stays on the same site (internal) or goes elsewhere (external), and how its rel attribute is set. A summary at the top counts each type, so you can spot patterns at a glance. Use the filters to focus on, say, external nofollow links, then export just those rows.
This is a tool for links on a page. To confirm that a site links to you, use our free backlink checker.
Why it matters
Links tell search engines how pages relate and where authority should flow. Internal links help your important pages get crawled and ranked. External links show who you vouch for. The rel value changes how that vote is counted. Paid and affiliate links without sponsored or nofollow can break Google's spam policies. An accidental nofollow on your own navigation can hold back pages you want to rank.
It's also a quick way to audit a page before you publish it or accept a guest post. You can confirm that affiliate links are labelled, that the outbound links point where they should, and that the page links back to the right internal pages with descriptive anchor text.
How to fix common issues
- Affiliate or paid links marked dofollow: add
rel="sponsored". Most affiliate plugins have a setting for this. - Comment or forum links without a qualifier: add
rel="ugc". WordPress does this for comments by default. - Nofollow on internal links: remove it unless the target is a page you don't want crawled.
- Vague anchor text: replace "click here" or "read more" with words that describe the destination.
- Few internal links: link to related service and article pages from the body copy, not just the menu.
