Website Link Analyzer Tool

Every anchor on the requested page is read from the HTML and classified along two axes. The first axis is destination: a link is internal when its hostname matches the page you submitted, and external when it points somewhere else. The second axis is the rel attribute: any anchor carrying rel="nofollow" is counted as nofollow, and everything else is treated as follow.

On top of those counts the tool builds two ranked lists. The top external domains list shows which outside sites you point to most often, which is useful for spotting an over-reliance on one source. The common anchor text list surfaces the phrases you reuse, so you can see whether your linking vocabulary is descriptive or stuck on "click here" and "read more".

Alongside the totals, the analyzer counts how many distinct external domains the page touches and ranks the twelve most-linked of them. A healthy editorial page usually spreads its outbound links across several relevant sources; a long tail of one domain repeated many times can read as an affiliate funnel or a paid placement that should be disclosed. The most-common-anchor list is the companion view: it tallies the exact anchor strings and shows the twelve you reuse most, which is the fastest way to notice that half your links say "here" or "this guide" instead of describing the destination.

The tool also surfaces a few plain-language recommendations based on what it found — for example, a prompt to review whether any followed external links should be marked nofollow or sponsored, a flag when a page has outbound links but no internal ones, and a note when the page references more than twenty-five different external domains.

Run the analyzer on the final, published URL rather than a staging or preview address, because the markup a server returns to an anonymous request is exactly what most crawlers see. If your internal count comes back at zero on a content page, that is almost always worth fixing first: a page with no internal links is harder for crawlers to place in your site's structure and passes no internal signals onward. When you spot a single anchor phrase dominating the list, vary it so the text describes where each link goes — that helps both readers and the search engines that read anchor text as a relevance hint.

Only the HTML returned for that one URL is parsed; the tool does not crawl deeper pages and does not run JavaScript, so links injected by a script after load will not appear. It reads markup, not link quality, so it cannot tell you whether a destination is authoritative or whether a link is broken — that is a separate job for a broken-link checker. The detailed row list is capped at the first fifty links for readability even though the totals count every anchor on the page. If a host blocks automated requests or serves different markup to bots, the counts will reflect what was returned at request time, not necessarily what a human browser sees.
