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.
