Internal Link Counter

How Internal Link Counter works

Paste page HTML to see how many internal and external links it contains, with duplicate anchor detection. Everything happens inside this page: the tool reads your input, runs the calculation or conversion locally, and hands the result back to you. Nothing is transmitted, because there is no backend to transmit it to.

That design choice is deliberate. Most free tool sites upload your files to a server, process them there, and quietly keep a copy. Toolcin cannot do that — the site is a set of static files. If your connection dropped the moment the page finished loading, every tool would still work.

What counts as an internal link

A link is internal when its host matches the page's own host. Relative links and absolute links to the same domain both count; subdomains are treated as separate hosts by most crawlers, and this tool follows that convention.

Paste the page source and it counts the internal links, the external ones and the anchors that point nowhere.

Why the number matters

Internal links distribute authority and tell a crawler what matters. A page with 300 internal links in the navigation dilutes every one of them; a page with five contextual links concentrates attention.

Anchors without an href, javascript: links and empty fragments contribute nothing at all.

What it cannot check

Whether the targets exist, whether they are canonical, or whether the anchor text is meaningful. It counts links in the pasted HTML only — links injected by JavaScript are invisible.
