Website Links Count Checker
About Website Links Count Checker
Our Website Links Count Checker counts all hyperlinks on any webpage and categorises them as internal links (pointing to pages on the same domain) and external links (pointing to other websites). This analysis helps you understand a page's link structure and identify optimisation opportunities.

The number and quality of internal links significantly affects how Google distributes PageRank throughout your site. Pages with more internal links pointing to them tend to rank higher for competitive keywords.
Optimal Link Structure Guidelines
- Each page should have 2–5 internal links minimum
- Limit external links to relevant, authoritative sources
- Use descriptive anchor text for all links
- Avoid having more than 100 links on a single page
How to Use the Website Links Count Checker
- Enter the full URL of the page you want to analyse.
- Run the scan to have the tool crawl the page and collect every hyperlink it finds.
- Review the breakdown of total, internal, and external link counts.
- Compare the totals against the optimal link structure guidelines above.
- Adjust the page's navigation, body links, or footer if the counts are too high, too low, or heavily skewed toward external sites.
Who Uses This Tool: Content editors use it before publishing a long article to make sure it links out to enough internal pages without becoming cluttered. SEO consultants use it during site audits to find thin pages with too few internal links pointing readers (and PageRank) toward key conversion pages. Web developers use it to sanity-check templates, confirming a page layout isn't unintentionally injecting dozens of extra links through widgets or footers.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Website Links Count Checker free?
This tool requires an active one-time membership to use - pay once and unlock this tool plus every other gated tool on the site, no subscription, no ads.
Is there an ideal number of links per page?
There's no strict rule, but pages with hundreds of links can dilute the SEO value passed to any single link and make for a poor user experience - keep links purposeful and relevant rather than hitting an arbitrary count.
Does this count both internal and external links?
Yes - it counts all links on the page, giving you a total you can then reason about in terms of internal navigation versus outbound references.
