Internal Link Checker

Every link on a page with its anchor text, the internal ones checked for broken links and redirects.

No sign-up. We read the live page for you. Nothing is stored.

Updated

For example:

Lists every link on the page with its anchor text, then checks the internal ones for broken links and redirects if you ask.

In the output

What you get

  • Every link, grouped by destination
  • The anchor text used for each
  • Empty, generic and nofollowed links
  • Broken and redirecting internal links
  • Every link in the page’s HTML, internal and external, grouped by destination with every anchor text used for it.
  • Which internal links sit in the content and which only in the navigation, header or footer, where they carry less context.
  • Links with no anchor text, generic anchors such as “read more”, internal links marked nofollow, and links to http:// pages.
  • On request, the status of up to 50 internal links, to find the broken ones and the ones that redirect.
Three steps

How to use the Internal Link Checker

1

Enter a page URL

A post, a category page or the homepage. We list every link in its HTML.

2

Check the internal links’ status

One click checks up to 50 of them, three or four at a time.

3

Fix the anchors and the dead ends

Rewrite generic anchors to name the destination, and point redirecting links straight at the final URL.

Why it matters

Why internal links deserve a closer look

They are how Google finds pages.

A page no other page links to is hard for crawlers to reach and easy for them to undervalue.

Anchor text is a label.

The words in a link tell Google what the target page is about. “Click here” says nothing.

Broken links leak.

A link to a 404 sends readers to a dead end and crawlers to a page that no longer exists.

Redirects waste a hop.

Internal links that point at old URLs make every visitor and crawler pay for a redirect you control.

After you run it

What to do with the result

Internal links are the one ranking signal entirely in your control, and they decay quietly: pages move, anchors get lazy, and new posts are never linked from old ones. Checking a page shows its links. Site Audit maps internal links across the whole site, so you can see which pages nothing links to and which links lead nowhere.

Frequently asked questions

There is no target number. Link where it helps a reader go deeper, with anchor text that names the destination. What to avoid is pages with no contextual links at all, and pages that nothing links to.
