01

How to use this tool

  1. 01

    Enter the page that should contain your backlink and the exact destination URL.

  2. 02

    Optionally specify the expected anchor and rel, then inspect the observed link and HTTP results.

  3. 03

    Save for monitoring. Healthy links are checked daily; problems are retried after an hour. Two matching failures trigger an in-app alert. History is retained for 90 days.

02 / Worked example

Worked example

Suppose a partner links to your /guides page with the anchor “SEO guide”. Enter that partner page as the source and your /guides URL as the destination. A found link with a destination 404 still needs attention. If the page redirects, inspect the final URLs before deciding what to change.

03 / How to read the results

How to read the results

Checks read server HTML only. JavaScript links, blocked requests and temporary failures may need a manual review. This does not measure indexing or rankings. 50 saved pairs per account. 100 requested checks per day, including additions and changed expectations. Manual checks have a five-minute cooldown.

FAQ

Does this discover all backlinks to my domain?

No. Supply a known source page and destination. The tool inspects that pair; it does not query a web-wide backlink index.

What does “not found” mean?

The expected destination was absent from the HTML returned at that check. The link may be inserted by JavaScript or hidden by access restrictions. Review the source before treating the link as permanently lost.
