Free Website Links Count Checker
Links are the connective tissue of the web and a core element of SEO. Every link on a page — internal or external, dofollow or nofollow — influences how search engines crawl the site, how link equity flows, and how users navigate. This free Links Count Checker analyzes any webpage and shows a complete breakdown of all links: total count, internal vs external split, and dofollow vs nofollow status.
Enter any URL to see exactly how many links are on the page and what type each one is. Use this data to audit your internal linking structure, identify excessive outbound links, find nofollow links that should be dofollow, and ensure crawl paths are correct.
A well-structured linking profile on each page is a key on-page SEO factor. Pages with strong internal links to supporting content rank better, and pages with no incoming internal links from the rest of the site are often crawled infrequently or missed entirely.
Why Link Count Analysis Matters for SEO
Internal link equity distribution. Each internal link on a page passes a fraction of the page's link equity to the destination. A page with 100 links passes a tiny fraction per link. Keeping link counts reasonable ensures each link carries meaningful value.
Crawl path optimization. Search engine crawlers follow links to discover pages. Pages buried deep in your site with few internal links pointing to them are harder to find and crawl less frequently.
External link profile. Too many external dofollow links on a page, especially to unrelated sites, can reduce the page's perceived authority. Monitor outbound links to keep them purposeful.
Nofollow audit. Accidentally adding nofollow to internal links blocks equity flow within your own site. Identifying nofollow internal links lets you fix them and restore link equity distribution.
Internal Linking Best Practices
Link to important pages from many pages. Your most valuable pages should be linked from many other pages on your site to receive the most internal link equity.
Use descriptive anchor text. Anchor text that describes the destination page content helps search engines understand the context of the linked page.
Avoid link overload. Keep the number of links per page purposeful. Pages with hundreds of navigation links and minimal content links pass little equity to any destination.
Fix orphan pages. Pages with no internal links pointing to them are not properly integrated into the site. Add internal links to ensure they get crawled and receive equity.

Dofollow vs nofollow?
Dofollow passes link equity. Nofollow (rel="nofollow") tells search engines not to pass equity.
How many links should a page have?
No hard limit, but keep links purposeful. Hundreds of links dilute the equity passed to each destination.
