Outgoing Links

How OptiScan.io explains internal, external, nofollow, and empty link signals.

The Simple Version

Outgoing Links shows the links discovered on the current page and groups the main counts: total, internal, external, nofollow, and empty links.

What OptiScan.io Checks

The section displays target URL, link type, anchor text, and whether the link is followed or nofollowed.

Why It Matters

Links help users and search engines move through a site. Empty, unclear, or unintentionally nofollowed links can make a page harder to navigate and audit.

How To Use It

  • Review empty or placeholder links.
  • Make anchor text descriptive.
  • Confirm internal links point to useful related pages.
  • Use nofollow intentionally, not by accident.

What This Means For You

Use Outgoing Links to catch link quality issues on the scanned page.
