Internal Link Checker

Discover broken internal links, orphaned pages with no internal links, and linking opportunities. Strengthen your site's crawlability and authority distribution.

Optimize Your Internal Linking Structure

Internal links are the glue that holds your site together. They help search engines discover all your pages, establish site hierarchy, and distribute authority to important content. A broken or poorly planned internal linking structure wastes SEO potential and frustrates visitors.

Our Internal Link Checker identifies broken links that lead to 404 errors, finds orphaned pages with no internal links, and reveals linking opportunities to strengthen your site's structure. Improve crawlability, user experience, and ranking potential in minutes.

Key Features

Orphaned Pages Discovery

Frequently Asked Questions

Do broken internal links affect SEO?

Yes, significantly. Broken links hurt user experience, waste crawl budget, and can prevent important pages from being indexed. Always fix them.

How many internal links should each page have?

There's no magic number, but 3-5 contextual internal links per page is typical. More links dilute authority; too few leaves crawling potential untapped.

What are orphaned pages and how bad are they?

Orphaned pages have no internal links from other pages. They're harder for search engines to find and harder for users to discover. Consider linking to them if they're valuable.
