      I am trying to reorganize my site and with that my home page. I want to follow the 100 internal link rule. However when I run a Moz crawl test it says that there is too many on page links. I than went to Moz open site explorer and it said there is 237 links. When I exclude in bound links that still leaves me in the mid 100 range. After counting them my self I can only come up with 75 on page links. Does anyone know how I can find what Moz is referring to? And how I would be able to find where this links are? I might be missing something simple or maybe I don't understand exactly how the Moz tools work. That is why  input from this great community would help.

      Thanks!

        Could you please provide a link to your site? That would likely help to figure out where the links you're missing are.

            After looking at the source code for your homepage, here are the anomalies I've found:

            1. A dozen or so links like https://static1.squarespace.com/static/ are in your header. I assume these are due to having built your site through them, but these will still count.
            2. The "Loving @ Your Best etc." image at the top is a link to the homepage, but so is "Home". That's a bit redundant.
            3. Each of your navigational items (couples therapy, counseling, etc) is an on-page link which is probably an unnecessary design choice.
            4. The biggest issue s that you have both your desktop and mobile links on this one source page. That's a big no-no; instead, you should have the page that's fetched determined by whether a user is on mobile or not, and then have a separate page for both. This is likely the biggest source of your headache here.

            I hope that helps, Travis.
