Free Link Analyzer
Break down a page's internal & external links.
What is the Link Analyzer?
The links on a page tell search engines what it's about and where authority should flow. Too few internal links and important pages get stranded; careless external links leak ranking signals; vague anchor text like 'click here' wastes a ranking opportunity on every link.
This link analyzer fetches any URL and breaks down its link profile — internal versus external, rel attributes, and anchor text — so you can see and improve how a page links out.

What does this tool do?
You enter a URL and the tool fetches the page and inspects every link, classifying each as internal or external and reading its rel attributes.
It reports the internal/external split, how many links are nofollow, sponsored or ugc, the most common anchor text, the top external domains, and any links with no anchor text at all.
