Discover how this essential SEO tool helps you analyze the link profile of any webpage and understand its impact on your search rankings.
A Nofollow Checker is a tool that scans a URL, extracts all its external links, and identifies their `rel` attribute. It tells you instantly whether a link is "nofollow" or "dofollow," saving you from manually inspecting source code.
Understanding link types is crucial for link building and competitor analysis. This tool helps you assess the value of a potential backlink, analyze your competitors' strategies, and ensure your own site's linking policy is sound.
Our tool provides an immediate, easy-to-read report. You get at-a-glance stats breaking down the link types, plus a detailed table listing every link found. This clarity allows for quick decisions and efficient workflow.
For in-depth analysis or client reporting, you can export the entire list of found links to a CSV file with a single click. This feature makes it easy to integrate our tool's findings into your professional SEO reports and spreadsheets.
Learn the fundamental distinction between these two link types and their modern role in search engine optimization.
A DoFollow link is a standard hyperlink that search engines can follow. It passes authority (or "link juice") from the linking page to the destination page, acting as a vote of confidence. These are the most valuable types of backlinks for improving your SEO ranking.
A NoFollow link contains a `rel="nofollow"` attribute. This tag tells search engines not to pass authority to the linked page. They are commonly used for paid links, comments, and forum posts to prevent spam and manipulation of search rankings.
In recent years, Google has stated that it treats `nofollow` as a "hint" rather than a strict directive. This means that in some cases, Google may still choose to follow and pass value through a nofollow link. However, dofollow links remain the most direct and reliable way to build link equity.
Google also introduced more specific attributes:
Get an instant analysis with a simple workflow and find answers to common questions.
Type or paste the full URL of the webpage you wish to analyze into the input field at the top of the page. Make sure to include `http://` or `https://`. Our tool needs the complete address to crawl the page correctly.
Click the "Check Status" button. The tool will begin crawling the page in real-time. A loading indicator will appear while our server fetches and analyzes the page's HTML, identifying every external link it contains.
Once the scan is complete, you'll see a full report. The stats cards give you a quick overview of Dofollow vs. Nofollow counts, and the detailed table lists every single link found and its status, allowing for in-depth analysis.
If the tool returns 0 links, it could mean several things: the page genuinely has no external links, the URL was entered incorrectly, or the website is blocking automated crawlers like ours. Please double-check the URL and try again.
This powerful feature allows you to download your entire link analysis as a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file. This file can be opened in spreadsheet programs like Excel or Google Sheets for offline analysis, client reporting, or team collaboration.
