Tool Overview

Last updated: August 18, 2026

Enter any public URL and the tool reads that page’s HTML server-side, then counts every navigational link it finds and sorts them into the categories that matter for an audit.

Because it reads the served markup rather than the rendered page, you see what a crawler sees.

One URL, one pass, and enough detail to judge a page before you spend anything on it.

What You Get Back

  • Total links, excluding anchors, mailto and tel
  • Internal versus external split
  • Dofollow and nofollow counts
  • Sponsored and UGC links, where the page uses them
  • How many unique external domains it points to

How It Works

How the Check Runs

Three steps, no signup at any of them, and nothing you enter is stored.

1

Paste a public URL

Any page you can open in a browser works, including a competitor’s. There is no signup, no login and no daily limit.

2

The page is fetched server-side

The analyzer reads the HTML the server returns, not the page a browser draws after JavaScript has run. That is the same markup a crawler is given.

3

Anchors, mailto and telephone links are dropped. What is left is grouped by destination and by rel attribute, then totalled.

Reading the Numbers

What Each Count Actually Tells You

Four numbers, and what each one should change about your decision.

Signal What it means Why it changes a decision
Internal versus external The split tells you what a page is for. A resource or roundup page usually runs 30% to 60% external. A product page that is 40% external is leaking attention it should be keeping.
Dofollow and nofollow A link is nofollow when its rel attribute carries the nofollow token. Check this before you pay for a placement, then check it again a month later, because a link can change without disappearing.
Sponsored and UGC Sponsored marks paid or affiliate links, UGC marks links in comments and forum posts. A publisher applying rel=”sponsored” to your paid placement is doing exactly what Google asks.
Unique external domains Twenty external links to one domain is a very different page from twenty across fourteen. This is the quickest way to spot a page built to funnel traffic somewhere specific.

When to Use It

Two Jobs This Is Actually For

Counting links is not interesting on its own. These are the moments the numbers change a decision.

Vetting a page before you pay

If the article already carries forty external links across thirty domains, yours will be one voice in a crowd. If most are nofollow, ask why yours would be different.

Auditing your own pages

Pages that earn links but pass almost nothing onward are a quiet waste. Check your outbound links still point where you intended, because old ones rot and redirect.

Know the Limits

What the Numbers Do Not Cover

Treat the output as a first filter, then open the page and look at it yourself.

It looks outward, not inward

The tool reports what a page links to. It does not tell you what links to that page, so pair it with a backlink check when you need the other direction.

It counts, it does not judge

It makes no judgement about quality or relevance. Two pages with identical totals can be worth very different amounts to you, which is why the totals are a filter and not a verdict.

It reads the served HTML, not the rendered page

A page that injects links with JavaScript after load will show a higher total in a browser extension than it does here.

Going Deeper

Where This Fits With the Other Tools

A link analysis is one step of an audit. The rest are a click away.

You know what the page links to. This tells you which of those links are dead, and dead links on someone else’s page are the opening for broken link building.

For your own placements. Paste the pages that link to you and confirm which of those backlinks are still live.

Google Index Checker

A live link on a page Google has not indexed passes nothing. Check the referring URLs in bulk before you count them.

Domain Age Checker

Judge whether the site behind a link is established. Registration date, registrar, IP and name servers for up to ten domains at once.

Next Step

Take the Guesswork Out of Vetting Placements

The analyzer answers what a page links out to. Deciding which pages are worth approaching, and keeping the placement live once it is published, is the slower half of the job.

If you would rather hand that half over, start with a conversation.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about analyzing a page’s links.

Yes. There is no signup, no login and no daily limit. Nothing you enter is stored.
Internal links point to the same domain as the page you analyzed, ignoring the www prefix. Everything else is external. Anchors, mailto and telephone links are excluded from both.

This tool reads the HTML the server returns, which is what a crawler sees. Extensions count what the browser renders after JavaScript has run, so a page that injects links client-side will show more in the browser.
It will not pass ranking signals, but it can still send referral traffic and put your brand in front of the right audience. The point of checking is knowing which kind you got, particularly when you paid for the placement.
They are rel values Google introduced alongside nofollow. Sponsored marks paid or affiliate links, UGC marks links inside user-generated content such as comments. They appear in your results only when the page actually uses them.

Yes, any public URL works. Checking what a prospect’s page already links out to is the fastest way to judge whether another outbound link there is worth paying for.
