Free external link checker for any web page
Who your page sends people to, on what terms, and whether it still answers
A 403 or a 429 is the target server refusing us, not proof the page is gone: those addresses are marked blocked rather than dead.
Everything is computed in your browser. Nothing is stored.
Most link tools return a status code and stop there, which answers "does it work" and nothing else. Yet the outbound links on a page are almost never written by the person who wrote the page: they arrive from a sidebar module, a partnership, an affiliate plugin. That is where you find what you were not looking for.
How to use it
How it works
Paste an address
The tool collects every link leaving the domain, deduplicated on the destination.
Look at the shape of the profile
Destinations are grouped by domain: one domain taking everything shows up immediately.
Run the live status
Twenty links at most are queried, in document order.
Worth knowing
Four things to keep in mind
A page-level nofollow cancels every rel
It is the most common way to get this audit wrong: a page can be full of links with no attribute and pass nothing at all. The page tag is read first.
sponsored, ugc and nofollow say three things
The first declares a paid placement, the second a link added by a visitor, the third is the general case. A paid link carrying a bare nofollow is a disclosure problem before it is an SEO one.
A block is not a dead link
A 403 or a 429 is the target server refusing you, not proof the page is gone. Protected sites answer that to any unfamiliar bot while serving a browser perfectly well.
Linking out costs nothing
Citing sources is normal on a page worth reading, and the old 100-link limit was a technical constraint retired long ago. What causes problems is undisclosed paid placement.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
No, and that belief has produced a great deal of pointless nofollowing. What causes problems is a specific pattern: paid or exchanged links passing an endorsement without declaring it, not the act of linking.
No. It was a response to a tactic that stopped working in 2009, when Google changed how nofollowed links divide value: withholding it no longer redirects it anywhere. Reserve it for links you genuinely do not want to vouch for.
A link opened in a new tab hands the opened page a reference to yours, which it can use to navigate your tab elsewhere. Current browsers already imply it, the attribute makes it certain everywhere, and it costs nothing.
Every outbound link is listed and audited on its rel, its target, its protocol and its anchor. Live status is only requested for the first twenty: beyond that, a public page would turn into an attack tool against the sites being checked.
