What is the difference between this and the Anchor Text Checker?

The Finder lists every internal link with its href and anchor; the Anchor Text Checker analyzes anchor distribution. Use Finder to inventory; Checker to audit quality.

How many internal links are typical per page?

50-100 for content pages is normal. Beyond 200, link equity per link drops noticeably.

Does this include nav and footer links?

Yes — all internal anchors from the entire page HTML, including header, footer, sidebar, and main content.

Can I export the link list?

Yes, CSV export with URL, Anchor Text, and Nofollow columns.

Are external links included?

No, only internal (same-domain) links. For external link audits, use a different tool.

Does it follow JS-rendered links?

It parses server-rendered HTML. JS-injected links may be missed for SPAs.

How is this useful for SEO?

Internal linking distributes link equity. Knowing which pages link where, and with what anchors, is foundational for technical SEO and topic clustering.

What is the right number of internal links per content page?

5-15 links to other pages on your site within the body content. Plus normal nav/footer links. Heavy linking from content body signals strong topical authority.

Should I link to the same page multiple times?

In long content, yes — one or two contextual links to the same target page reinforces relevance. Beyond that, diminishing returns.

How do I find orphan pages (no internal links)?

This tool shows what a page links to. To find orphans, you need a site crawler like Screaming Frog that builds the full link graph.

Are nofollow links shown separately?

Yes, the result indicates rel="nofollow" status for each link.

Can I use this for competitive research?

Yes, run competitor URLs to map their internal linking strategy. The patterns reveal which pages they consider most important.

When SEO teams use it

Six common workflows.

Site-wide internal linking audit

Run top 30 organic pages through the tool. Build a spreadsheet of internal links and identify under-linked or orphan pages.

Topic cluster validation

For pillar pages, verify they link to all subtopic pages with descriptive anchors.

Competitor research

Run competitor URLs to map their internal link strategy. Mirror what works.

Pre-launch site audit

Verify all critical pages have at least one internal link before launch.

Link equity flow analysis

See which pages are most-linked internally. These are your most-prioritized pages by link equity.

Migration validation

After CMS migration, verify internal links did not break or change unexpectedly.

Platform-specific setup guides

How to manage internal links on the platforms most teams use.

WordPress

Yoast and Rank Math show internal linking suggestions per post.
Use a plugin like Internal Link Juicer to auto-link by keyword.
Audit periodically with this tool.

Webflow

Use rich-text fields in CMS for internal links.
For sitewide links, edit the symbol or template once.
Audit production URLs with this tool.

Ghost

Edit posts directly to add internal links.
For automated linking, use a Ghost integration like Disqus or custom JS.
Run the audit quarterly.

Next.js

Use <Link href> for internal links to leverage SSR and prefetch.
Avoid <a href> for internal — you lose Next.js routing benefits.
Audit each route post-deploy.

Static sites

Markdown files use [text](url) for links; verify each is internal vs. absolute.
Use a build-time check to validate all internal hrefs resolve.
Audit generated HTML with this tool.

Common errors and how to fix them

Eight issues teams hit when extracting internal links.

Page returns 0 internal links

Cause: JS-rendered SPA without SSR.

Fix: Server-render the navigation and content for crawlable links.

Footer links dominate the list

Cause: Site has heavy footer (50+ links).

Fix: This is normal but dilutes link equity. Consider trimming the footer to essential links only.

Some links missing anchor text

Cause: Image-only links without alt attribute.

Fix: Add alt text to image links; alt functions as anchor for image links.

Tool times out on large page

Cause: Page has 1000+ links.

Fix: Such pages are unusual; expect slower response. For full-site audits, use Screaming Frog.

Returns external links unexpectedly

Cause: Site uses subdomain that may or may not count as "internal" depending on context.

Fix: Manually filter the export to your strict internal definition.

Same URL appears 50 times

Cause: Page links to one target many times.

Fix: Expected. The tool is comprehensive; deduplicate in your spreadsheet if needed.

Returns 403 or "blocked"

Cause: Site WAF blocks our crawler.

Fix: Manually inspect via View Source.

Hash anchors (#section) included

Cause: Page has many internal anchor jumps.

Fix: Filter out URLs with # in the export if irrelevant.
