Link Quality Issues — Demo

1. extlinks3xx — external links that return 3XX

Audit tools follow these external URLs and detect the 301/302 hops before the final 200.

2. extlinks_no_anchor — external links with no anchor text

← link with image but no alt text
← completely empty <a> tag (link still rendered above as invisible)
← anchor with only whitespace

3. links_no_anchor — internal links with no anchor text

← internal link with logo, empty alt
← empty <a> tag pointing to /about-company.html
→ ← anchor with only an arrow character

4. links_nofollow — internal links with rel="nofollow"

Since March 2020 Google treats nofollow as a hint, but internal nofollow is still considered an anti-pattern by most SEO authorities.
