About this tool
Get a clean list of every URL on a page together with its anchor text. It is a quick way to audit navigation, collect references or review a competitor's outbound sources without reading the HTML.
How to use it
- Paste the address of the page.
- Run the tool.
- Scroll, search or copy the list of URLs and their anchor text.
What you get
- The destination URL of each anchor
- The visible text people click on
- Both same-site and off-site destinations
Why anchor text matters
The words people click tell readers and search engines what to expect on the other side. Descriptive text such as "free invoice template" is more helpful than vague phrases like "here" or "read more", so reviewing it is part of any on-page SEO check.
Common uses
- Auditing navigation and footers on your own site
- Collecting sources cited in an article
- Checking which partners or affiliates a page mentions
- Preparing a list of URLs for a migration or redirect plan
Limitations
The extractor reads the HTML returned by the server. Anchors created later by JavaScript, content behind a login and elements that appear only after a click may be missing. Relative URLs are shown as written in the page.
A worked example
Before redesigning a website, an agency extracts every URL from the old homepage and main category pages. The list becomes the checklist for the new navigation and for the redirect map, so no important page is forgotten during the launch.
Working with the list
- Copy it into a spreadsheet to sort, filter and remove duplicates.
- Group addresses by section to see how the site is structured.
- Flag anchors with vague wording like "read more" for improvement.
Useful follow-up checks
- Test the destinations with Broken Links Checker.
- Trace redirecting addresses with Redirect Checker.
- Open several at once with Open All URLs for a quick visual review.
Relative vs absolute URLs
Some sites write references as /about instead of https://example.com/about. Both work in a browser; when building a redirect map, add the full domain so every entry is complete.
