Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Link Checker do?
The Link Checker scans a page and collects every link it can find. It then groups them into internal, external, nofollow, and non-HTTP links (like mailto, tel, javascript, ftp, etc.) so you can quickly understand how your page is wired.
How do I use the Link Checker?
Paste one or more URLs into the field, click “Check Links,” and let the tool run. For each page, you’ll get a structured report showing internal links, external links, nofollow links, and special non-HTTP schemes so you can scan the results at a glance.
What information does the Link Checker provide?
You’ll see total counts for internal, external, nofollow, and non-HTTP links, plus the actual URLs in each group. It’s perfect for spotting odd patterns (like too many external links or missing internal links) and for planning internal linking improvements.
Is this the same as the Broken Link Checker?
No. The Link Checker focuses on discovery and categorization—what kinds of links you have and where they point. If you want to test whether links are actually working and see HTTP status codes (like 404 or 500), use the Broken Link Checker instead.
Why is it important to check links on my site?
Healthy links mean better navigation, happier users, and cleaner SEO signals. A quick audit helps you catch outdated URLs, missing internal links, or overly aggressive external linking before they turn into bounce rates and ranking drops.
What URL formats are supported?
Use fully qualified URLs that start with http or https, for example: https://example.com/page. Relative URLs, files on your computer, or browser-only paths aren’t supported.
What are internal links?
Internal links are links that point to other pages on the same domain (or subdomain, depending on your setup). They help visitors move around your site, and they help search engines understand which pages matter most.
What are external links?
External links point from your site to a different domain. They’re useful for citing sources, sending users to tools or partners, and adding context— but they should stay relevant, trustworthy, and up to date.
What are nofollow links and when should I use them?
Nofollow links use the rel="nofollow" attribute to tell search engines not to treat them as an endorsement. They’re commonly used for paid placements, untrusted content, or links you don’t want to pass SEO value to, while still keeping them clickable for users.
How often should I check my site links?
For small sites, a monthly check is usually enough. Bigger, fast-moving sites or blogs benefit from weekly audits and extra checks after major content updates or site restructures. The more you change, the more often you should scan.
