Link Analyzer
A link analyzer reads every link on a page and sorts it. This free tool fetches your URL and counts internal and external links, nofollow and dofollow links, lists each anchor text with its target, and flags duplicate targets and links with no anchor text. Use it before an audit, a redesign or an outreach campaign.

About this tool
Links are how search engines find your pages and how they judge which ones matter. A page with hundreds of links in menus and footers spreads attention thinly, a page with no internal links to the right places leaves good content stranded, and a page full of followed external links gives away trust you may not mean to give.
This analyzer loads the page from our server and reads every anchor in the HTML. A link is internal when it points to the same registered domain as the page, so blog.example.com counts as internal to example.com. A link is nofollow when its rel attribute includes nofollow, sponsored or ugc; every other link is dofollow. You get the totals, a table of links with anchor text and target, and a list of targets that appear more than once.
Read the table for patterns rather than single links. Many links with the anchor text click here or none at all waste a chance to describe the target. Many repeats of one URL are normal for navigation but odd inside the article. The tool lists the first 200 links and does not request the targets; to test whether links work, use the broken link checker.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between dofollow and nofollow links?
A dofollow link is a normal link with no rel restriction, so search engines may count it as a vote for the target. A nofollow link carries rel="nofollow" (or sponsored, or ugc), telling search engines not to pass trust. Use nofollow for paid, user-submitted and untrusted links.
How many links should a page have?
There is no fixed limit. Google has said it can follow a large number of links, but each page should have a reason for every link. Keep navigation clean, link to related pages from the content using descriptive anchors, and avoid long link lists that exist only for search engines.
Why does the same link appear many times?
Menus, footers, breadcrumbs and calls to action often repeat a URL. That is normal. Repeated links inside the main article are worth checking, because they add little. The duplicates table shows which targets appear most so you can decide whether each repeat earns its place.
Does the tool check if links are broken?
No. It reads and sorts the links on the page without requesting them. To find links that return 404 or redirect, run the broken link checker on the same URL. Together the two tools show how links are built and whether they work.
