How to use the Website Links Count Checker
Paste the page HTML. Optionally enter your domain to help classify internal vs. external links accurately. The tool extracts every and produces an audit: total count, internal vs. external breakdown, nofollow / sponsored / UGC rel-attribute distribution, anchor-text quality breakdown, and a warning if duplicate hrefs (multiple links to the same URL) are detected.
Pourquoi cet outil est important
Page link count and anchor-text quality are core SEO signals. Pages with under 5 links are often crawl dead-ends. Pages with over 120 links dilute the page-authority each link passes. Generic anchor text (“click here”) wastes the SEO value of every link. The tool surfaces all three issues at once.
Cas d'utilisation courants
- Auditing internal-link strength across pages
- Comparing link distribution to a high-ranking competitor
- Detecting unintentional generic anchors (“click here”, “read more”)
- Finding orphan pages with insufficient inbound links
- Checking that sponsored and affiliate links are properly tagged
- Identifying duplicate links that could be consolidated
The right number of links per page
Google\u2019s old advice (“keep below 100 links”) is now relaxed — modern guidance is “use as many links as serve the user.” That said, pages with 120+ outbound links generally distribute page-rank thinly enough to hurt every linked destination. For long-form pillar pages, 30-80 is a healthy range. For navigation pages and resource hubs, higher counts are fine.
Foire aux questions
Why classify internal vs. external?
Internal links pass authority within your site (boost your rankings). External links pass authority OUT (a small SEO cost but a major user-experience win when relevant). The balance matters — but no fixed ratio is right for every page.
When should I use nofollow, sponsored, or UGC?
Use sponsored for paid/affiliate links. Use UGC for user-generated content (forum posts, comments). Use nofollow for low-trust outbound links. Modern Google treats these as hints not directives.
Why warn about duplicate hrefs?
Multiple links to the same URL split the anchor-text signal Google reads. Consolidate when possible — pick the strongest anchor and link once.
What\u2019s the difference between internal and “external”?
We classify based on domain. If your domain field is empty we use the canonical URL from the HTML, if present. Subdomain handling is permissive: links to www.example.com and example.com both classify as internal if either is your domain.
