Internal Link Checker

An internal link points at the same site. An external link points elsewhere. Anchor text is the visible words inside the anchor. This checker classifies anchors in HTML you already have. It does not discover orphan pages by crawling.

What you get from Internal Link Checker is concrete. Internal versus external is based on the domain you typed. Each row shows the href and the anchor text from the paste. The HTML is not fetched from a host. You paste it. Read those results before you paste them into a template, a file, or a ticket. A copied mistake is harder to see later than a mistake still on this page.

A careful pass on Internal Link Checker looks like this. Start with real input, not a placeholder you do not understand. Type the site domain you want treated as internal. Then check the middle of the form, because that is where optional fields change the output. Paste raw HTML that contains anchor tags. Finish by reading the whole result, not only the first line. Use the anchor text beside each URL when you review the links.

The limit is the part people skip on Internal Link Checker. Match the output to the input you actually typed, then decide whether it belongs on the live site. The link URL and the anchor text from that anchor tag. Each row shows the href and the anchor text from the paste.

A second reading of Internal Link Checker is worth it because the first pass is easy to rush. Say out loud what the output is claiming. Internal versus external is based on the domain you typed. Each row shows the href and the anchor text from the paste. The HTML is not fetched from a host. You paste it. Then say what it is not claiming. No. It classifies anchors in the HTML you paste, using the domain you type as internal. The link URL and the anchor text from that anchor tag. No. It is parsed in the browser. If those two speeches disagree, change the input or pick a different tool. Internal Link Checker will not resolve the disagreement for you.

Read Internal Link Checker once more as a single job. Part 1: Type the site domain you want treated as internal. Part 2: Paste raw HTML that contains anchor tags. Part 3: Read the internal list and the external list. Part 4: Use the anchor text beside each URL when you review the links. You should be able to point at this in the result: Internal versus external is based on the domain you typed. You should be able to point at this in the result: Each row shows the href and the anchor text from the paste. You should be able to point at this in the result: The HTML is not fetched from a host. You paste it. Does this checker crawl my site for orphan pages? No. It classifies anchors in the HTML you paste, using the domain you type as internal. What does each row contain? The link URL and the anchor text from that anchor tag. Is the HTML uploaded? No. It is parsed in the browser. Who is Internal Link Checker for? Internal Link Checker is for someone already doing link tools work who needs analyze your internal linking structure and find orphan pages. An internal link points at the same site. An external link points elsewhere. Anchor text is the visible words inside the anchor. This checker classifies anchors in HTML you already have. It does not discover orphan pages by crawling. The first field was filled with a real value: Type the site domain you want treated as internal. The result was read: Internal versus external is based on the domain you typed. Optional fields were either filled or left empty on purpose. The copy went into the place the last step names. The boundary in the guide was respected before anything was published.

Keep Internal Link Checker as this step only. When the job moves on, the External Link Checker is the next page: External Link Checker asks for a page URL and then shows a table of outbound URLs with a status and a follow flag. The Anchor Text Analyzer covers a different piece of the same work: Anchor Text Analyzer reads anchor tags in HTML you paste and totals each visible anchor phrase.
