Improve internal linking of a page in a targeted manner
What the Link List Covers
The checker reads links from the delivered HTML of a URL and evaluates at most 80 of them. As internal, destinations with the same host as the retrieved page are considered; a different subdomain can therefore appear as external. The key figures relate to this selection. Incoming links from other pages, the full crawl depth and orphaned URLs are not determined.
Read the HTTP status of the targets correctly
The goals are called up with HEAD and forwardings are tracked. The displayed status is therefore part of the achieved goal and does not disclose every previous redirection. A status 200 does not exclude a redirect chain. A value of 0 means that there was no usable response. Also 403, 405 or 429 can arise due to protection rules or the type of request; check such findings additionally with a normal page retrieval.
Evaluate link texts and nofollow in context
Compare the visible link text with the task of the landing page. “Learn more” can be understandable in a direct context; a more precise text helps if several goals are otherwise difficult to distinguish. Check rel data such as nofollow consciously. A large number of links is neither automatically good nor bad. The decisive factor is whether visitors reach the relevant content and the links are actually helpful.
From a sample to the website structure
First, choose an important category, a guide, or the homepage. Fix confirmed error targets and update links directly to the final address. Then check other page types. For the question of which pages are not linked anywhere internally or how many clicks are necessary to a landing page, you need a crawl or a comparison of several URLs.
Improving an unclear internal link
Practical example · for illustration
Starting position
Check out a guide page with multiple links, all of which are called “Learn More”.
Classify the findings
The same link text can point to different landing pages. This makes it difficult for users to choose the right link.
Specific amendment
Formulate the link text based on the specific target task, such as “check canonical tags”, and refer directly to the final URL.
Control and border
Check the source page again and open links in the browser. The single URL check does not replace a complete crawl of all internal connections.
Questions about use and boundaries
Does the tool check all links on my website?
No. It examines a maximum of 80 links in the HTML of the entered page. A cross-page crawl is required for the website structure and incoming references.
Why do I see 200 despite a redirect?
The target check follows forwards and reports the final status. For individual steps and their status codes, use the Redirect Checker.
Is a link with status 0 securely defective?
No. No usable HTTP response was identified. Network problems, time limits or protection systems can be the cause. Check the target separately.
Does the checker find orphaned pages?
No. A link list of a single page cannot make a complete statement about incoming links of the website. For this, use the Orphan Page Checker with the required URL data.
