3.2 - Sprout SEO 🌱 - the link edition

We all know the importance of links on your pages. So, this edition is fully focused on making you understand all the links found on any page.

Are they working, leading to a 404 page or maybe to a redirect?

We've added a new tab called "Links".

Here you can:

  • See the total amount of links, the total amount of unique links, the number of internal and external links
  • Highlight all internal links on the page, or highlight all the external links on a page
  • Export all internal or external links into a CSV
  • Get an overview of the extension of all the internal and external links, together with their anchor text and HTTP status code.

When highlighting all internal or external links on a page, it shows a little pop-up on the page with color coding explaining the number of links:

  • with a query string at the end
  • with a no-follow tag
  • blocked by robots
  • to a page that has a redirect
  • to a page that gives a client error
  • to a page that gives a server error

Highlighting of all external and internal links is also possible from the newly created contextual or "right click" menu on any page, together with the options from the right click menu to:

  • Test the current page in the Rich Results tester
  • Test the current page with the schema.org validator
  • Perform a site:domain.com search
  • Perform a -inurl:https Google search
  • Test your speed on WebPageTest
  • Test your speed on GTMetrix
  • Test your speed on Page speed insights
  • Test your speed on Lighthouse
  • View the current site on Ahrefs
  • View the current site on Archive.org
  • View the current site on BuzzSumo
  • View the current site in Majestic
  • View the current site on Moz
  • View the current site on Semrush
  • View the current site on SimiliarWeb
  • View the current site in Sistrix

We'll save you seconds - dozens or hundreds of times per day - which quickly adds up.

Oh, and we've got one more trick up our sleeves...

From now on, you will get an overview of all the headings on a page, so not just the amount of H1's, H2's, etc., but also the actual headings with the option to export or copy them.
