Link Analyzer
Understanding the link profile of any webpage is an essential part of SEO auditing, competitor research, and technical reviews. The Wild Creek Link Analyzer lets you enter any public URL and instantly retrieve every hyperlink on that page, classified by type and follow status.
Whether you are auditing your own site or researching a competitor, knowing how a page distributes link equity matters. Pages that leak too much authority through external dofollow links, or that fail to leverage internal linking effectively, often underperform in search despite having good content.
Link Analyzer
What does the Link Analyzer check?
The tool fetches the target page, parses every anchor tag, and returns the following for each link:
- Internal or external – is the link pointing to the same domain or another site?
- Dofollow or nofollow – does the link pass PageRank, or is it tagged with rel=”nofollow”?
- Anchor text – the visible clickable text of the link
- Full URL – the destination the link points to
You also get a summary at the top showing total link count, internal vs external split, and the dofollow vs nofollow breakdown at a glance.
When to use this tool:
Use it when auditing a page for on-page SEO, checking whether outbound links are correctly nofollowed (for sponsored content, for example), reviewing how well a page uses internal linking, or analyzing competitor pages to understand their link structure.
All processing is handled server-side – no browser extension or software needed. Simply paste in a URL and the results appear in seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information does the Link Analyzer show?
For each link found on the page, the tool shows the full URL, anchor text, whether the link is internal (same domain) or external (different domain), and whether it is dofollow or nofollow.
What does “internal” and “external” mean?
Internal links point to pages on the same domain as the URL you entered. External links point to a different domain. Internal linking helps distribute PageRank across your site; external links send authority out.
What is the difference between dofollow and nofollow?
A dofollow link passes PageRank (link equity) to the destination page. A nofollow link includes rel=”nofollow” in the HTML, telling search engines not to follow or pass authority through that link. Sponsored links and user-generated content are common examples of links that should be nofollowed.
Can I analyze any URL?
The tool can analyze any publicly accessible URL. Pages that require a login, are behind a paywall, or are blocked by robots.txt may not return results.
Is there a limit on how many links the tool checks?
The tool retrieves all links found on the page with no artificial cap. Very large pages with hundreds of links will all be listed.
Does the tool follow redirects?
The tool fetches the final destination of the URL you enter and parses links from the returned HTML. It does not recursively follow links to other pages.
Is my data stored or logged?
No. The tool processes your request in real time and does not store the URL you entered or any of the results.
