Why Internal Link Structure Matters
Internal links distribute PageRank across your site, help Google discover and understand content, and signal which pages are most important. A weak internal link structure leaves high-value pages under-linked and under-ranked.
PageRank Distribution
Every internal link passes a fraction of the referring page's authority. Pages with more quality internal links rank higher.
Orphan Page Detection
Pages with no internal links — orphan pages — may never be crawled or ranked. Auditing individual pages reveals linking gaps.
- Footer-only links pass far less authority than in-content editorial links
- Nofollow on internal links silently blocks PageRank flow to key pages
- Duplicate internal links to the same URL dilute link equity across anchors

What People Are Saying
Real feedback from SEO specialists and developers.
Found 15 internal links with nofollow pointing to our most important landing pages. Fixed them and rankings moved within 3 weeks.
The section breakdown is brilliant. Instantly saw that 90% of our internal links were in the footer, meaning almost zero PageRank was flowing to content pages.
I run this on every page before publishing. Takes 10 seconds and catches missing links to related content I can always add.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is internal link analysis?
Internal link analysis examines the links within a site that point to other pages on the same domain. It reveals how link equity flows, whether important pages are well-linked, and whether navigation is structured correctly for SEO.
What sections does the tool detect?
The tool classifies links into four sections — Header, Nav, Body (main content), and Footer — based on the surrounding HTML structure. Body links are typically the most valuable for SEO as they represent editorial, in-content links.
Why do nofollow internal links matter?
Internal nofollow links do not pass PageRank to the destination page. While occasionally intentional (e.g., login pages), unexpected nofollow attributes on important internal pages can quietly suppress their rankings.
What is a good number of internal links per page?
Google has historically recommended keeping total links on a page under a few hundred. More important is quality: content-area internal links with descriptive anchor text pass far more value than nav or footer links.
How does this differ from a site-wide crawl?
This tool analyzes a single page in depth. For a full site crawl across all pages, consider a dedicated crawler. Use this tool to deeply audit individual important pages like your homepage or top landing pages.
