See Which Links Pass SEO Authority on Any Page

Every external link on a webpage either passes SEO authority to its destination or it does not. This free checker reads the rel attribute of every link, so in seconds you know exactly which links are working for SEO and which are not.

What Is the LinkPanda Dofollow / Nofollow Link Checker?

It is a free SEO tool that scans any webpage, reads every link on it, and sorts the external links into two groups: dofollow and nofollow.

A dofollow link is the default state of a link. It tells search engines to follow the link and pass authority, often called link equity or PageRank, to the destination page. These are the links that directly strengthen rankings.

A nofollow link carries a rel attribute of nofollow, sponsored, or ugc that signals search engines not to pass authority. The tool reads these attributes straight from the live page source, so the result reflects exactly what search engines see.

Trusted by SEO Specialists and Link Builders

Link builders rely on a checker like this every day to confirm that the placements they earn actually pass authority. Before paying for a guest post or a niche edit, a quick scan shows whether the site offers dofollow links. After a campaign goes live, the same scan verifies the link was published as agreed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a dofollow and a nofollow link?+

A dofollow link tells search engines to follow it and pass ranking authority to the destination. A nofollow link carries a rel attribute of nofollow, sponsored, or ugc, which signals search engines not to pass authority.

How accurate is the link checker?+

The tool fetches the live page and reads the rel attribute directly from its HTML source, so the result reflects exactly what search engines see at that moment.

Do I need an account to use it?+

No. The checker is free and needs no signup or login. Enter a URL and get results instantly.

Can I check a competitor page?+

Yes. The tool works on any public webpage, so you can audit a competitor backlink or resources page and see how many of its outbound links are dofollow.

Does a nofollow link have any value?+

Nofollow links do not pass ranking authority, but they can still drive referral traffic and contribute to a natural, balanced link profile.

The tool could not fetch a page. What can I do?+

Some sites block automated requests. Use the paste-HTML option on the tool: open the page, copy its full source, and paste it in to analyse it directly.
