What this internal links checker tool does
This free internal links checker reads a single webpage and lists every link it finds, separating internal links (pages on your own domain) from external links. For each link you get the destination URL, the anchor text a visitor and a crawler actually see, whether the link is follow or nofollow, any rel attributes such as sponsored or ugc, and where the link sits on the page — navigation, main content, sidebar or footer. It runs in seconds because it analyses one page at a time instead of crawling your whole site.
Why internal linking matters more than most people think
Search engines use internal links to discover pages, understand how your content is related and decide which pages deserve the most authority. A page with no internal links pointing to it is effectively invisible. Anchor text is the label you give a page — "internal links analyzer" tells a crawler far more than "click here". Nofollow links on your own site quietly block ranking signals from flowing between your pages, which is why this internal links analyzer flags them separately.
How to use the free internal links checker
- Paste the full URL of the page you want to analyse and run the check.
- Review the summary: total internal links, unique pages linked, external links and how many internal links are nofollow.
- Scan the table for empty or generic anchor text, links to the page itself and insecure HTTP destinations.
- Check the placement column — links inside your main content usually carry more weight than repeated footer or navigation links.
- Export the table to CSV and work through the fixes.
What a good internal link profile looks like
There is no magic number, but strong pages usually link to at least a handful of genuinely related pages from inside the body content, use descriptive anchor text that matches the target page's topic, avoid nofollow on their own URLs, and don't bury every link in a mega-menu. If your page links out to more third-party sites than it does to your own, that's usually a sign the content isn't connected to the rest of your site.
Frequently asked questions
Is this internal links checker really free?
Yes. You can run three checks a day with no account at all. A free account raises your monthly limit, and paid plans raise it further along with more links shown per page.
Does it crawl my entire website?
No — this tool is intentionally lightweight and analyses one page per run. If you need site-wide coverage, run our website audit instead.
Can it check pages that need JavaScript?
It reads the HTML that search engines receive first. Links injected later by JavaScript may not appear — which is itself useful to know, since crawlers can miss them too.
