Hi John

Quite simply, an on-page link is a link that is on the webpage. It can be split up into two categories: Internal and external.

Internal on-page links point to webpages sitting on the same domain. So links that are in your site navigation and your footer, for example, those would be internal on-page links.

External on-page links are those that point to different websites.  Why this is probably of interest to you is that it is generally recommended that you should only have external on-page links on your website that point to trustworthy and authoritative sites.  If you have links pointing to webpages that are spammy, low-quality and/or have been hacked, it could negatively effect how Google sees and ranks your site.

If I've misinterpreted your question, just let me know and I'll try to answer it better!
