How Frontend Extraction Works

This tool utilizes the browser's DOMParser API. When you paste raw HTML, the JavaScript engine recreates a virtual document tree.

This method is far superior to simple regex matching as it respects nested elements and handles malformed HTML more gracefully.

Internal vs. External Link Identification

In 2026, Google places high value on "Outbound Authority." Linking to reputable external sources builds trust. By providing your domain, our tool automatically filters links to see if they are staying on your site (Internal) or moving to a different domain (External). This helps SEOs ensure that their "Link Juice" is flowing intentionally and not leaking to low-quality neighbors.

Technical Tips for Link Audits

  • Empty Anchors: Look for links with no anchor text; these are often images or broken elements that provide poor accessibility.
  • Absolute vs. Relative: Ensure your internal links use consistent relative paths to avoid duplicate content issues.
  • Nofollow Check: Always check if your high-value outbound links are missing the rel="nofollow" attribute if you intend to pass authority.

If you use "View Source," you see the raw HTML. If you use "Inspect > Copy Outer HTML" of the <body>, this tool will find links generated by React, Vue, or other JS frameworks.
