Internal link counter. Count the trails.
Paste your HTML. The tool counts every internal vs external link, lists unique destinations, and flags fragment-only or javascript: pseudo-URLs that don't pass ranking signal.
Paste your HTML and your site origin. The tool counts every <a href>, splits into internal / external / fragment / pseudo-URL, lists unique internal destinations, and flags accidental nofollows on internal links.
Used to distinguish internal vs external. Same-origin = internal.
Sources used by this counter
- Google nofollow as 'hint' (2019)
- Master prompt §31.6: ≥ 3 incoming internal links per indexable page.

Six questions users ask.
Why does internal-link count matter?
Pages with fewer than 3 incoming internal links suffer from the orphan-page indexation gap. The master prompt §31.6 sets the floor at 3 incoming internal links per indexable page.
What counts as 'internal' here?
Same-origin (same protocol + host + port). Subdomains count as different origins. Paste your domain in the origin input.
What about fragment-only links?
Links that are pure fragments (href="#section-1") don't navigate to a different page. They're useful for in-page nav but don't count toward Google's internal-link distribution.
Should nofollow links count?
Most internal-link counters include nofollow links since they still get crawled. The counter shows nofollow-tagged internal links separately so you can see if you're accidentally nofollowing your own pages.
Why are some links 'pseudo-URLs'?
javascript: hrefs and mailto:/tel: hrefs aren't navigable URLs. Search engines don't crawl them.
Does this tool log my HTML?
No. The form runs entirely in JavaScript on your device. Nothing is sent to Digital Heroes servers.
