Element Code: LI-015
Quick Reference
Issue: Page has an unusually high number of outgoing internal links
Impact: Dilutes link equity, may appear as link farm behavior
Fix: Review if all links are necessary and valuable
Detection: Screaming Frog, Sitebulb
What Is This Issue?
Pages with hundreds of outgoing links dilute the value of each link. While acceptable for legitimate navigation or resource pages, excessive links on content pages may be problematic.
Why This Matters for Your Website
Link equity is divided among outgoing links. Too many links means each one passes minimal value.
How to Fix This Issue
- Review link necessity: Is every link valuable?
- Context matters: Category pages can have many links
- Reduce if excessive: Focus on most important links
Tools for Detection
- Screaming Frog: Shows outlink counts
TL;DR (The Simple Version)
This page has many outgoing links. While okay for navigation pages, content pages should focus on fewer, more valuable links.
