External Link Audit

Find every external link on your site. Check for broken 404s, missing rel attributes, empty anchors, and links that don't open in a new tab. Downloadable XLSX report.

What the audit checks

Enter sitemap → fetch URLs → run audit → download XLSX with all external links categorised.

Broken External Links (404)

Optional HEAD check on every unique external URL. Finds dead links that hurt UX and crawl quality.

Empty Anchor Text

External links with no anchor text pass zero context to Google about the target page.

No target=_blank

External links that don't open in a new tab take users away from your site mid-session.

Nofollow / Sponsored / UGC

Categorises every external link by rel attribute. Ensures paid links have rel=sponsored and user content has rel=ugc.

Dofollow Audit

Lists all dofollow external links — these pass your PageRank to other sites. Ensure only trustworthy sites get dofollow.

Trusted Domain Check

You define trusted domains (wikipedia.org, gov.uk, etc.). We flag which external links point to trusted vs unknown sites.
