It began as a quick “does this link really exist on the page?” — and grew into a bulk backlink checker that checks a whole list at once.

01 — The task

Answer “is this link really there?” — for a whole list, with no setup

Before you pay for a batch of placements, or when you inherit a list of links from a vendor, you need one thing: does each link actually exist on the page, and is it followed? Doing that by hand — open, Ctrl-F the anchor, check the rel, next — doesn’t scale past a handful. So we built an external backlink checker where you paste the list and get a page-by-page verdict on every row, no project to configure. Think of it as a page backlink checker that runs across your whole list at once.

02 — What we built

Paste a list, get six checks per link — in parallel

Drop in source → target pairs straight from a spreadsheet — hundreds at a time — and each link is verified live with six checks: HTTP status, link present or not, dofollow/nofollow, the exact anchor found, outbound-link count, and indexability. Links are checked in parallel, so a few hundred rows take minutes. Every run is saved to your account to re-check and compare later, exports to XLS, and can be published as a public report — all without a monitoring project.

03 — What the report shows

A verdict on every row, and totals for the batch

Per link, at a glance:

  • Found / not found — is your link on the page
  • HTTP status — did the page even load
  • Dofollow / nofollow — the real rel
  • Anchor text — the exact anchor found
  • External links — how many outbound links share the page
  • Indexability — can the page be in Google
04 — How it helps

Verify before you pay — and audit any backlink profile

Confirm a large batch of placements really went live before money changes hands. Use it as a backlink profile checker to audit which of a competitor’s or vendor’s backlinks are real versus already gone. And hand a client or supplier a shareable report instead of screenshots. For links you want watched over time, it hands off to Backlink Monitoring — this is the fast, on-demand check.

How it’s built

A bulk backlink checker in three levels: your list, the run, saved runs

Paste a list, get a results grid you can export or share, and keep every run so you can come back and compare. This online backlink checker gives each run its own URL — a report you can send as a link.

Under the hood

The best free backlink checker for big lists, fast

No project, no waiting around: this free backlink checker tool lets you paste, run every external backlink check in parallel, and keep the result to share or revisit.

Parallel runs

Links are checked concurrently, so a few hundred rows finish in minutes, not hours — with a live progress bar as it goes.

Paste and go

No project, no config — drop in source → target pairs from a spreadsheet and run. The list is parsed and de-duplicated for you.

Saved runs & compare

Every run is stored under your account, so you can reopen it, re-check the same list and see what changed since last time.

XLS export

The full result table — every check, every row — goes back to your spreadsheet in one click.

Public share reports

Publish a run as a read-only public report and send the link to a client or vendor — no account needed to view.

Fair-use limits

The Free plan checks up to 100 links per run; Pro and Agency raise the ceiling for large batches.

When to reach for it

Proof you can send
A public report link a client or supplier can open — cleaner than a folder of screenshots.
Checker vs Monitoring. Backlink Checker is a point-in-time batch check — fast, no setup. For links you want re-verified on a schedule with full history and alerts, use Backlink Monitoring.
