Backlink Checker / Verifier

How it works

1. Enter one or more source page URLs and the target domain you expect them to link to.
2. The tool fetches each source page live and parses every <a> tag in its HTML.
3. It checks whether any link points to your domain and reads the anchor, rel attributes and link target.
4. You get a clear found/not-found result per page, plus the link's details and current status.

What it shows

• Link present — a definitive yes/no on whether the source links to your domain.
• Anchor text — the exact clickable text used for the link.
• Rel attribute — whether it is dofollow, nofollow, sponsored or ugc.
• Target URL — the precise destination the link points to.
• Page status — the HTTP status code of the source page (200, 404, etc.).
• Link count — how many links to your domain appear on that page.
• HTTPS check — whether the link uses a secure target.

Common use cases

• Confirming placements — verify a guest post, listing or partnership link actually went live.
• Auditing paid links — make sure sponsored links carry the correct rel attribute.
• Catching lost links — re-check old backlinks that may have been removed or changed.
• Validating anchor text — confirm the agreed anchor was used, not a generic one.

Example

Paste a publisher's article URL and your domain. The tool reports Link found, anchor text best project tools, rel="nofollow", target https://yoursite.com/tools, page status 200 — telling you instantly that the link is live but does not pass authority because of the nofollow tag.

Frequently asked questions

Is this real-time data?

Yes. The tool fetches and parses each source page live at the moment you run it, so the result reflects exactly what is in that page's HTML right now — nothing is cached or estimated.

Can it discover all my backlinks automatically?

No — it verifies specific pages you supply. To evaluate a full list of suspected links for risk, use the Toxic Backlink Audit; to find shared linking domains between competitors, try the Link Intersect / Backlink Gap.

Does a nofollow link still help?

It can drive referral traffic and add profile diversity, but it does not pass ranking authority the way a dofollow link does. Learn how to evaluate links properly in our backlink analysis & link building guide.

Can I verify and track backlinks for free?

Yes. Supply the pages you expect to link to you and the checker verifies in real time whether each backlink is still live, so you can track your links over time — free and with no signup.
