Total links
Navigation, body and footer links combined, which is what Google counts when it splits a page’s authority.

Internal Links Count Checker
Run the tool above and the result appears here.
What it checks
What the Internal Links Count Checker looks at
Links per destination
Each URL with the number of times the page links to it and its percentage of all links.
Internal versus external
Destinations on your own domain versus other sites, so you can see where authority leaves.
Ordered by count
The most-linked destinations first, which is usually the navigation; the service pages should be close behind.
How to read it
What the numbers tell you
What the numbers tell you
A page with 300 links shares its authority 300 ways. If the navigation and footer account for most of them and the service pages you want to rank get one link each, the page is not helping them. Trim the chrome, add contextual links in the body to the pages that earn money.
A simple target
Every important page should be reachable within three clicks from the homepage and linked from at least three other pages with descriptive anchor text. The count checker shows the first half of that picture; the internal linking review in our SEO audit shows the rest.

FAQ
Questions about this tool
Anything else? (970) 399-9004 reaches a person in Fort Collins, not a call center.
Does the count include the menu and footer?
Yes. Google counts them too. That is why a bloated menu dilutes every page on the site.
Why do some links appear twice?
The page links to the same URL more than once, for example in the menu and in the body. The table groups them and shows the count.
What about links in JavaScript menus?
Links that only exist after JavaScript runs are not counted, which is also how Google’s first crawl sees the page.
How many internal links is too many?
There is no fixed limit, but past a few hundred the value of each link falls sharply. Keep the navigation lean and put the links that matter in the body text.
