What types of links can this tool extract?

The tool extracts all elements from HTML, categorised as: external links (starting with http/https to a different host), internal links (relative paths or same-host absolute URLs), anchor links (href starting with #), mailto links (email addresses), and tel links (phone numbers).

How do I get the HTML for a page I want to audit?

In Chrome or Firefox, right-click anywhere on the page and choose "View Page Source" (or press Ctrl+U / Cmd+U). Select all the HTML (Ctrl+A / Cmd+A), copy it, and paste it into this tool.

Does this tool follow redirects or check if links are broken?

No. This tool only parses the HTML you paste — it does not make any network requests. To check whether extracted links are live or broken, use a link checker tool that crawls pages.

What is the base URL for?

Many pages use relative links like /about or ../contact. The base URL is used to resolve these relative links into absolute URLs, making it easier to identify which links are internal versus external.

Does the tool deduplicate links?

Yes. By default, identical href values are deduplicated so each unique URL appears only once. You can see the count of how many times each link appears.

Can I export the extracted links?

Yes. Click the CSV export button to download all extracted links as a spreadsheet-compatible CSV file with columns for URL, type, link text, and occurrence count.

What is a nofollow link?

A nofollow link has the rel="nofollow" attribute, which instructs search engines not to follow the link or pass link equity. The tool shows whether each link has rel="nofollow", "sponsored", or "ugc" attributes.

How is this useful for SEO?

Link extraction is useful for auditing internal link structure (are your important pages well-linked?), identifying broken or outdated external links, finding orphaned pages, and reviewing anchor text diversity.
