What are internal links?

Internal links are hyperlinks that point from one page on your website to another page on the same domain. They differ from external links, which point to other websites.

Why are internal links important for SEO?

Internal links distribute PageRank between pages, help search engines discover and crawl content, establish topical authority, and improve user navigation — all of which support better rankings.

How many internal links should a page have?

There's no fixed limit. Google recommends keeping the number reasonable for users. Aim for links that are genuinely helpful for navigation, typically 10–100 per page depending on content length.

What is anchor text and why does it matter?

Anchor text is the clickable text of a link. Descriptive, keyword-relevant anchor text helps search engines understand what the linked page is about, contributing to its rankings for those keywords.

Should internal links be nofollow?

Generally no. Nofollowing internal links prevents link equity from passing to important pages. Use nofollow sparingly on internal links — only for truly non-essential pages like login pages.

What is Internal Link Checker?

The Internal Link Checker scans any webpage and audits all internal links — links that point to other pages within the same domain. It checks each link's status (working or broken), anchor text, and link destination to help you identify and fix issues in your internal linking structure.

Internal links are fundamental to SEO. They distribute PageRank (link equity) across your site, help search engines discover and index new pages, establish topical relationships between content, and guide users to related information. A strong internal link architecture is one of the most impactful technical SEO improvements you can make.

Why Use Internal Link Checker?

Broken internal links waste crawl budget and break the flow of link equity through your site. Weak anchor text misses keyword opportunities. Orphaned pages with no internal links may never be indexed. Regular internal link audits ensure your site structure continuously supports your SEO goals.

✓Checks each internal link's HTTP status (200, 301, 404, etc.)
