      Dear Moz Community,

      I am trying to find a way to easily analyse a website (http://uk.chm-cbd.net) to determine the number of internal and external hyperlinks throughout the (roughly) 490 webpages within the site. It would also be extremely helpful to have a list of all the links with their url.

      Does anyone know of a tool, methodology to do this?

      If it requires a lot of programming then that does not help me very much as I am not very computer literate!! So a software to download or an online service would be very helpful. Open Site Explorer seems to be limited, such that I would have to do an analysis on each page within the website. BUT, if anyone knows how I can do using OSE, then please tell me.

      Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help

      Hugh

        Hi Hugh

        You could easily get this information by using a standalone desktop crawler to go through the site and see how many URL and internal and external links there are.

        The best would be Screaming Frog as this was built with SEO functionality in mind however the free version only allows you to crawl 500 pages which is close to your limit.

        If you are looking for a free crawler then xenu links sleuth should do the trick. However this only works on WIndows machines so if you have a mac then Screaming Frog may be your best solution.

        Hope this helps.

        Adam

          Open Site Explorer gives you what you need. If you have a PRO membership with Moz then you will have access to OSE. Alternatively, if you have access to Webmaster Tools then this will also show you a list of links to the website. I would recommend using both really because you will see that both tools give you different URL's that the other might not show up.
