Why Internal Link Structure Matters
Internal links distribute PageRank across your site, help Google discover and understand content, and signal which pages are most important. A weak internal link structure leaves high-value pages under-linked and under-ranked.
PageRank Distribution
Every internal link passes a fraction of the referring page's authority. Pages with more quality internal links rank higher.
Orphan Page Detection
Pages with no internal links — orphan pages — may never be crawled or ranked. Auditing individual pages reveals linking gaps.
- Footer-only links pass far less authority than in-content editorial links
- Nofollow on internal links silently blocks PageRank flow to key pages
- Duplicate internal links to the same URL dilute link equity across anchors
How to Use
Four steps to a complete internal link audit.
Enter URL
Paste the full page URL you want to audit.
Fetch Page
We fetch the page HTML like a crawler (without running JavaScript) and parse all <a> tags.
Detect Sections
Links are classified by page section: nav, header, body, footer.
Audit & Fix
Filter by section and compare total vs unique links to spot nofollow links and repeated targets.
Use Cases
Internal link audits matter for every site type.
E-commerce
Ensure product and category pages are well-linked from high-authority hub pages.
Content Sites
Identify pillar pages with too few body-content links pointing to cluster articles.
Site Audits
Spot nofollow misconfigurations and duplicate link issues before they suppress rankings.
UX & Crawl
Verify that navigation links are logically structured for both users and crawlers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is internal link analysis?
Internal link analysis examines the links within a site that point to other pages on the same domain. It reveals how link equity flows, whether important pages are well-linked, and whether navigation is structured correctly for SEO.
What sections does the tool detect?
The tool classifies each link by its closest enclosing element — Header, Nav, Sidebar (<aside>), Content (<main>/<article>) or Footer — using ARIA roles and common class names as a fallback. It is a heuristic, so pages with unusual markup may be classified imperfectly. Content links are typically the most valuable for SEO as they represent editorial, in-content links.
Why do nofollow internal links matter?
Internal nofollow links do not pass PageRank to the destination page. While occasionally intentional (e.g., login pages), unexpected nofollow attributes on important internal pages can quietly suppress their rankings.
What is a good number of internal links per page?
Google has historically recommended keeping total links on a page under a few hundred. More important is quality: content-area internal links with descriptive anchor text pass far more value than nav or footer links.
How does this differ from a site-wide crawl?
This tool analyzes a single page in depth. For a full site crawl across all pages, consider a dedicated crawler. Use this tool to deeply audit individual important pages like your homepage or top landing pages.
