THE REAL PROBLEM

Internal linking is usually fixed after the damage is already visible.

Teams know internal links matter, but the work usually starts with a messy crawl export. By the time orphan pages, redirect chains and anchor problems are assembled by hand, search performance has already taken the hit.

Wranker replaces the spreadsheet audit with a score-led workflow that shows what broke, why it matters and what to do next.

THE PAYOFF

THE MECHANISM

A five-step loop for cleaner internal links.

The Internal Link Analyser is not just a report. It is a workflow that moves from crawl data to scoring, prioritisation, fixes and client-ready reporting.

01
Step 01

Crawl

Use the Wranker crawler to collect pages, inlinks, outlinks, anchors, redirects, broken links and crawl depth.

02
Step 02

Score

Calculate DILS, PILS and AQS so weak internal linking, poor anchors and fragile page paths are visible fast.

03
Step 03

Prioritise

Separate orphan pages, dangling pages, broken links, redirect chains and risky anchors by impact and page value.

04
Step 04

Fix

Open page drawers, create tasks, replace links, validate targets and move issues into the campaign taskboard.

05
Step 05

Report

Export the tab, add sections to reports and show clients how internal linking improvements are progressing.

LINK HEALTH OVERVIEW

See your domain interlinking score before rankings leak.

Start with a clean DILS overview that combines internal linking strength, orphan penalties, redirect penalties and anchor quality into one score.

×You export crawl data, count links manually and still do not know whether the site structure is helping rankings.
Wranker shows DILS, Total Pages, Orphan Pages, Anchor Types, Broken Links and Redirects in one score-led overview.

The Pages panel moves beyond raw link counts. Every URL carries inlinks, outlinks, anchor count, PILS, status flags and actions.

×High-value pages get buried inside long crawl exports with no page-level score or next action.
Sort by PILS, filter orphan and dangling pages, open the Page Drawer, create a task or analyse the full page audit.
ANCHOR QUALITY

Stop using the same internal anchor everywhere.

AQS helps teams understand whether anchors are diverse, descriptive and safe. See anchor usage, linked pages, type and quality in one panel.

×Anchor text is checked late, manually and inconsistently across product, category and blog pages.
Wranker separates exact, partial, branded, generic and risky anchor patterns with suggested improvements.

Broken Links and Redirects panels expose source pages, broken URLs, final URLs, anchor text, status, chain depth and fix suggestions.

×Developers receive incomplete tickets and SEOs chase redirects across multiple crawl files.
Open Replace Link or Chain Visualizer drawers, validate the target, create a task and add the fix story to reports.
LINK MAP

Understand your site architecture visually.

The Link Map turns internal links into a visual graph so teams can spot isolated pages, weak clusters, redirects and dangling nodes quickly.

×Architecture issues stay hidden because tables do not show how pages cluster or disconnect.
Use graph controls, node statuses, lasso selection and export options to inspect site structure at scale.

BUILT FOR EVERY SEO WORKFLOW

One internal link audit, three ways to work.

Solo SEOs need clarity. In-house teams need ownership. Agencies need repeatability and reporting. The same analyser supports all three.

SOLO SEO

Find hidden link gaps without spreadsheets.

Move from a crawl export to an ordered fix list that tells you where link equity is leaking.

  • See DILS, orphan pages and broken links in one view
  • Open page-level PILS and AQS context
  • Create tasks directly from the issue
IN-HOUSE TEAM

Give content, SEO and dev teams the same link map.

Turn internal linking into a shared workflow instead of scattered URL lists and ambiguous tickets.

  • Route broken links and redirect chains to the right owner
  • Use anchor suggestions to brief content updates
  • Validate fixes against crawler status
AGENCY

Audit internal links across many client sites.

Use project context, exports, report hooks and task templates to standardise internal link audits at scale.

  • Export CSV/PDF at tab level
  • Add link sections to client reports
  • Use shared access and task workflows

FAQ

Internal Link Analyser questions, answered.

Built for SEO teams who need direct answers, not another crawl export to decode.

What is an Internal Link Analyser Tool?+

An Internal Link Analyser Tool audits how pages connect across a website. Wranker uses crawler data to show DILS, PILS, AQS, orphan pages, dangling pages, broken links, redirect chains, anchor quality and a visual link map.

How does Wranker calculate internal linking health?+

Wranker uses DILS, or Domain Interlinking Score, as the main health signal. It combines internal linking strength, orphan penalties, redirect penalties and AQS signals so teams can see whether link equity flows properly across the site.

Can Wranker find orphan pages?+

Yes. Wranker identifies pages with no internal inlinks and separates them from dangling pages, connected pages and weakly linked pages so you can create internal links where they matter most.

Does the Internal Link Analyser show anchor text quality?+

Yes. The Anchors panel tracks anchor text, usage, linked pages, anchor type and AQS. It also surfaces overused, underused and risky anchor patterns so teams can diversify internal anchors.

Can I fix broken internal links inside the workflow?+

The Broken Links panel lists the source page, broken URL, anchor text, status and fix suggestion. Teams can open the Replace Link Drawer, validate the replacement and create a task from the same context.

Does Wranker show redirect chains?+

Yes. The Redirects panel shows source URLs, redirecting links, final URLs, anchor text and chain depth, with alerts for excessive chains, loops and mixed protocols.

Is there a visual internal link map?+

Yes. The Link Map visualises pages as nodes and internal links as edges. Nodes can be coloured by status such as Healthy, Orphan, Redirect or Dangling, with controls for filters, export and lasso selection.

Which data sources power the Internal Link Analyser?+

Wranker Crawler is the primary data source. Google Search Console and Google Analytics can be used optionally to add performance context, but the core link audit works from crawler data.

Can internal link insights become tasks and reports?+

Yes. Page rows, broken-link rows, redirect chains and anchor issues can be turned into tasks. Tabs can also be exported as CSV/PDF or added to Wranker reports.
