Let’s say you're digging into a webpage—could be your own, could be a competitor's—and you're trying to figure out how many links are actually in there. Internal, external, broken, whatever. You need a quick check. No clutter. No dev tools. No CTRL+F hunts. You just want a number. Maybe a bit more. That’s where this tool lands: Website Links Count Checker. Straightforward. Does one thing. And does it fast.
Some folks use it during SEO audits. Others are trying to troubleshoot crawl issues. Or maybe you’re just nosy about how link-heavy a homepage is. We don’t judge.
So here’s the deal: you paste in a URL, hit go, and boom—link count. You’ll see total hyperlinks. It’s not just anchor tags. It grabs real clickable links—the ones crawlers and users both interact with.
No fluff. No downloading weird browser extensions. Nothing to install. It runs right here, online, clean and simple.
We didn’t try to turn this into a “do-everything” tool. That’s not the point. It's for counting links on a webpage. That’s it. Like how a screwdriver is just… a screwdriver.
More links = more complexity. That’s not always bad. But it can mess with site performance or SEO if things get out of hand. Search engines care about link structure. Google crawlers aren’t fans of pages drowning in links. Especially ones pointing to shady external sites.
Also: if you’re working with client sites, you’ll notice some are way more link-packed than they need to be. Quick count shows the mess. Fast.
And if you’re doing technical SEO? Link density matters. Internal linking matters. Knowing how many links are on each page can help identify if you’re overdoing it—or missing out.

Sometimes you’re not even looking for anything fancy. Just want a quick link count to add to a spreadsheet. This tool’s great for that. Lightweight. Browser-based. No weird pop-ups or tracking.
The interface? Dead simple. You won’t need a tutorial. Drop in a URL. Wait half a second. Result.
Some other tools make it weird. Overdesigned dashboards. Unnecessary analytics. Or worse—paywalls after 3 tries. That’s not our vibe at ToolsBox. We built this so you could just… check links. Move on.
Want more detailed data? Cool. Export it and dig in wherever you want. Want to just count and bounce? Even better.
We’re not scraping the page with duct-tape methods. This thing reads the rendered page just like a real user—or bot—would. It catches dynamic content too, including links added by JavaScript after load. If it’s there when the page is live, we’ll count it.
Of course, if a site has weird anti-bot scripts or heavy SPA frameworks, you might miss a couple. That’s just the nature of web tools. But for 95% of public pages, it gets the numbers dead on.
Developers use this too. Copywriters. Marketers. Even content managers doing site clean-ups. It’s not just a technical tool—it’s practical. Fast link insight = better decisions.
And hey, sometimes it’s fun to just drop big-name sites in here and see how overloaded they are. You’d be surprised how chaotic some homepages can get. We’re looking at you, news sites.
ToolsBox isn’t trying to be flashy. We’re just building out a suite of tools you can use without thinking too hard. No fancy signups. No emails needed. Just paste a URL, see what’s up, and go back to whatever else you were doing.
We’ve all got better things to do than fight with bloated SEO dashboards, yeah?
While this tool is pretty niche, it overlaps with a bunch of stuff. People come here looking for things like:
count links on a webpage
total hyperlinks on a page
internal vs external link checker
web link audit tool
how many links on my page
quick link counter
We don’t promise fancy reporting or colorful graphs. Just clean results. Fast. No distractions.
You don’t need to prep anything. Just grab a URL. Run it. That’s it.
It’s one of those tools you didn’t realize you needed until you started using it. Like a pocket flashlight. Or a hex key you didn’t know fit everything.
Anyway. You’ll figure it out.
Can this tool tell me how many internal vs external links are on the page?
Yep. It breaks it down for you. Internal, external, and total. Clean and clear.
Does it work on JavaScript-heavy pages?
Usually yes. It renders like a browser would. But if a page loads links super late, it might miss a few.
Can I use this for competitor research?
Of course. Drop in any public-facing URL and see the link count. No restrictions.
Is there a limit to how many URLs I can check?
Nope. Use it all day if you want. We don’t cap usage.
Do I need to sign in or install anything?
No login. No install. 100% browser-based. Just open and use.
