Everything here comes from what people using Link Signals tell us. Suggestions are published once we've read them, then planned, built and shipped, in that order. Paid plans can suggest ideas. Anyone signed in can report a problem and vote on the ones that matter to them.
Being built now.
Decided, and next in line.
Ideas and problems people have raised. Vote for the ones that matter to you.
Done and live.
On the paid plans, a client logo, partner or sponsor that is flagged can be trusted: later scans and monitoring still read it, count it as safe while it stays no more serious, and flag it again if it gets worse. A rescan lists it on its own and never calls it fixed.
An FAQ with a page for each of 31 questions, grouped by topic, and a Read the full answer link on every FAQ item across the site.
A re-check never rewrites the scan it was run on. It makes a new report, set against the original.
The first pages are read on their own and the cost of the whole site is projected, so a scan that clearly would not fit is stopped before it uses any of your link checks.
Re-check and Scan again ask whether your site has been updated, and show how many link checks you have left.
A link still on the page that is no longer flagged is shown as no longer flagged, with what was seen, and is not counted as fixed.
Link Signals’ own score out of 100, built only from what this tool found and checked, with every lost point attributed to links you can open. A hub and a page for every part of it explain it, and it is not connected to any search engine’s score.
How many of your followed external links, and what share, pass credit to a flagged destination, counted from what was recorded.
A rescan is labelled, counted the same way as the scan it repeats, and compared with it link by link, with what we saw for every link that is no longer flagged.
A scan that reaches its limit says so everywhere, is scored as provisional, and never lists what it did not reach as fixed.
Anyone signed in can still report a problem, ask a question and vote on the roadmap.
Monitoring emails once when a domain you link to comes within 30 days of running out, and again within 7.
The overview is a list of steps in priority order. Each number opens the links it counts, and expiry dates show in the lists.
Pharma, adult, gambling, malware and more each get their own card, most serious first, linking to those links.
One button starts monitoring, or a free trial, depending on your plan.
A card for each part of the scan, most urgent first, each with its numbers and what to do.
See your plan, your site's size and the smallest plan that covers it, so you never pay for more than you need.
Check just the flagged links again, without a full scan. The report, its numbers and the Sites page update straight away.
Mark a finding reviewed and the next scan reads the page again before it calls the link resolved.
The email after a scan leads with the most serious finding and groups the rest in the same order as the report.
Send a client or colleague a read-only link, and turn it off when you like.
A page for each site with flagged links over time and what is new since the last check.
Open findings, what needs action now, what is resolved, and how many linked domains expire soon, with monitoring one click away.
Every scan reads when your domain and certificate run out and how your site serves HTTPS.
Paid plans can reorder what matters most. The report, the overview and the email follow it.
Links are checked against the domain registry, not only the page they lead to.
Links are read for their rel markers, with advice on flagged links that still pass ranking credit.
Compares what search engines, visitors and scripts are shown, to catch spam hidden from the site owner.
Close the page and we email you the findings when the scan is done.
Re-checks a sitemap on a schedule and emails you when something new turns up.
