Internal links are how visitors and search engines move between the pages on your site, and how authority from your strongest pages flows to newer or thinner ones. This checker parses the HTML you paste, classifies every link as internal or external based on the domain you provide, and flags anchor text that is too generic to be useful, like "click here" or "read more."
Enter your domain, then paste the HTML source of a page. The checker scans every anchor tag, reads its href attribute, and compares it against your domain: a relative path like /blog/post or any absolute URL containing your domain counts as internal, while a link to any other domain counts as external. Mailto, tel and anchor links (starting with #) are counted separately since they are not page-to-page navigation. All of this runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
The words inside a link, not just the link itself, are part of how both readers and search engines understand the destination page. "Click here" and "read more" work for a human who is already looking at the surrounding sentence, but they add nothing if that anchor text is read out of context, and they give search engines a much weaker topical signal than something like "our guide to internal linking." Swapping generic anchor text for descriptive phrases is one of the lowest-effort, highest-leverage edits you can make to an existing page.
A healthy page usually links out internally more than it links externally, since the goal is to keep visitors moving through your own site and to help search engines discover related pages. If the results here show mostly external links, or several links flagged as generic, treat those as a short punch list: add a few relevant internal links where they make sense in context, and rewrite generic anchor text to describe what a reader will find on the other end. Getting this right on your most important pages is a small part of a much larger technical and content picture, which is exactly what a full SEO site audit is built to catch.
