Internal Link Analyzer
Internal links tell search engines which pages matter and help visitors find their way. This analyzer reads a page and lists every link that stays on the same site, grouped by target URL, with the anchor texts used, how often each target is linked, and attributes such as nofollow or opening in a new tab. Check the status of up to 60 links with one click to find broken ones, and download everything as CSV.

Internal Link Analyzer FAQ
Should internal links be nofollow?
Almost never. Nofollow on your own links does not save crawl budget and stops those links from passing signals to the page.
How many links is too many?
There is no fixed limit. Hundreds of links on one page dilute the value of each and make navigation harder; that is the point at which the tool warns.
What counts as internal?
Links to the same host, ignoring www. Subdomains count as external.
Does it see content added by JavaScript?
No. It reads the HTML the server sends, which is also what search engines see first. Content that appears only after scripts run is not analysed.
Why internal links matter
Search engines discover most pages by following links, and they use the number and context of internal links as a hint about importance. A page that is linked only from a deep archive is harder to find and is likely seen as less important than one linked from the main navigation.
Anchor text matters as well: descriptive anchors tell both visitors and search engines what the target page is about. The analyzer shows every anchor used for each target, so you can see whether an important page is always linked with “click here” or with a meaningful phrase.
Use the Anchor Text Analyzer for a deeper look at anchor quality and the External Link Analyzer for links leaving the site.
Results reflect the page at the moment of the check. Pages that serve different content to different visitors, countries or devices may show different results in a crawler; when in doubt, compare with the URL Inspection tool in Google Search Console, which shows what Google itself fetched.
Privacy: the address you enter is fetched by our server only to run this check. The downloaded HTML is passed to your browser for analysis and is not stored, and the results are not saved on our side. Requests are rate-limited to keep the service fair for everyone, so if you check many pages in a row you may need to wait a few minutes.
Limits: pages are read up to 2 MB of HTML, redirects are followed up to eight hops and each request has a short timeout. Very large pages, servers that block automated requests or pages behind a login cannot be analysed this way; for those, open the page in your browser, copy the page source and use the paste option where it is available.
