Free backlink checker: who links to you, and which links need attention

The free backlink checker shows your total backlinks, referring domains, broken backlinks and links gained and lost in the last 14 days, with a spam score, a domain rank and a backlink health score out of 100. It also lists your top 10 referring domains and anchors, and any issues found, most urgent first.

Free. Each email address can run this check 3 times.

What the checker shows

  • Overview: total backlinks, referring domains and pages, broken backlinks, links gained and lost in the last 14 days, spam score and domain rank.
  • Link profile: followed and nofollowed links, plus sponsored and user-generated links.
  • Top 10 referring domains with their rank and spam score, and your top 10 anchors.
  • Issues: the checks that failed, most urgent first.
  • Coverage: how many links and domains were analysed, against your totals.

How the health score works

The backlink health score runs from 0 to 100. It weighs your domain rank (50%), the share of followed links (30%) and low spam risk (20%), the same formula used in Adviora’s full backlink audit.

What it cannot tell you

Data comes from a commercial backlink index, so it reflects the links that index has found, not every link on the web. For large sites the checks look at the first 1,000 links and referring domains; the coverage line shows how many were analysed. The free result does not include your full link list, recommendations or a disavow file.

What to do next

Recover broken backlinks first: they are links you already earned, pointing at pages that no longer exist. Broken backlink recovery shows how. Treat a high spam score as a reason to review a link, not to disavow it straight away.

Questions

Can I check a competitor’s domain?

Yes. The checker works on any domain you enter.

Should I disavow links with a high spam score?

Not automatically. Google ignores most low-quality links. Review them, and disavow only clear manipulation you or a previous agency built.
