Free backlink & dofollow link checker

Yes. You can check 20 pages a day without an account. Domain Rating and traffic come from a paid data provider, so those numbers have their own small daily limit and are cached for a week per domain.

A normal link with no rel="nofollow", "sponsored" or "ugc" attribute, on a page that does not tell search engines to ignore its links. It is the kind of link that can pass authority to the page it points to.

All three ask search engines not to treat the link as an endorsement. rel="sponsored" marks paid or affiliate links, rel="ugc" marks links in comments and forum posts, and rel="nofollow" is the general version. A link can carry more than one, so the counts can overlap.

The keyword of a link is its anchor text — the clickable words. The Anchor keywords tab groups every anchor on the page, shows how often it is used and how many of those links are dofollow. Image links use the image’s alt text.

The page itself can say “nofollow” in a robots meta tag or an X-Robots-Tag header. When it does, search engines ignore every link on the page, so the checker counts them all as not followed and tells you why.

Not on its own. Search engines also weigh the page’s relevance, quality and whether it is indexed. This tool reports what is in the page’s HTML — it never claims a link is indexed or guarantees ranking value.

Paste a page address (with a path, like example.com/blog/post) to see the links on that one page. Paste a bare domain (example.com) and the checker scans the homepage plus up to 15 internal pages, adds every link up, lists each external link once with how many pages carry it, and shows the strongest sites that link to the domain. You can switch between the two on the results.

The checker reads the HTML the server sends, like most search engine crawlers do on their first pass. Links that only appear after JavaScript runs may be missing. The free LinkHunter Chrome extension reads the page as you see it in your browser.
