What Is the Internal Linking Visualizer?

Internal links decide how easily people and crawlers reach each page, and which pages a site treats as important. The Internal Linking Visualizer crawls your site and draws it as a graph: the start page in the middle, each ring one click further away, every dot sized by how many internal links point at it. Hubs, dead ends and buried pages stand out at a glance.

Key Features

A graph of up to 250 pages, in rings by clicks from the start page
Dots sized by internal links in and colored by site section
Point at or tap a page to see what it links to and what links to it
Under-linked pages and pages returning errors outlined
Charts of click depth and of the most-linked pages
CSV export of pages and of every link, for your own graph tools

Reading the Rings

The start page sits in the middle and each ring is one click further out. Pages that matter should sit within three rings. Big dots are pages the site links to a lot, usually menus, categories and hubs. Small dots on the outer rings are easy to forget, for people and for crawlers, and an amber outline means one internal link points there or none.

Menu Links Stay Hidden Until You Ask

Menu and footer links appear on almost every page, and drawn in full they'd turn the graph into a tangle. Links found on most pages are hidden until you point at a page; then all of its links show, outgoing in blue and incoming in orange.

Why Rings Instead of a Physics Layout

A force-directed layout settles differently every time and takes seconds to draw on a phone. Rings by click depth come out the same for the same site every time, so two runs a month apart can be compared side by side.

Common Use Cases

  • Finding important pages buried four or more clicks deep
  • Spotting pages that get almost no internal links
  • Checking that a new section is linked from the rest of the site
  • Explaining site structure to a client or a developer

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Internal Linking Visualizer free?

Yes. It's free with a ProxyHorizon account, and every account gets 25 runs a day shared across all our data tools. You can read about the tool without signing in, but running it needs an account because each run fetches live data.

Why does a page I know is linked show few links?

Only links between the pages in this crawl are counted. If the pages linking to it sit past your page limit, they're not in the graph. Run a bigger crawl for a fuller picture.

Can I export the graph?

Yes. The pages with their link counts, and the full list of links with one row per link, from and to, both download as CSV.

How many pages does it crawl?

25, 50, 100 or 250, your choice. It starts at the URL you enter and follows internal links outward, so the pages closest to the start are read first. On a site bigger than your limit, the report says how many pages it read and how many the site has at least, and describes those pages rather than the whole site. A run has about two and a half minutes to crawl; on a slow site it stops where it got to and says so.

Do you keep the crawl?

For 24 hours. The crawl behind a report is stored for a day so the other sitewide tools can reuse it for the same site and page limit, instantly and without crawling again. It only holds public pages, so anyone checking the same site that day gets the same crawl. Choose "Crawl again now" whenever you want fresh data. We also log which tool you ran and when, to apply the daily limit.
