Internal
Table of Contents
Internal
The Internal tab combines all data extracted from most other tabs, except the external, hreflang and structured data tabs. This means all data can be viewed comprehensively, and exported together for further analysis.
URLs classed as ‘Internal’ are on the same subdomain as the start page of the crawl. URLs can be made to be internal, by using the ‘crawl all subdomains‘ configuration, list mode, or the CDNs feature.

- rel=“next” 1 – The SEO Spider collects these HTML link elements designed to indicate the relationship between URLs in a paginated series.
- rel=“prev” 1 – The SEO Spider collects these HTML link elements designed to indicate the relationship between URLs in a paginated series.
- HTTP rel=“next” 1 – The SEO Spider collects these HTTP link elements designed to indicate the relationship between URLs in a paginated series.

- Size – The size of the resource, taken from the Content-Length HTTP header. If this field is not provided, the size is reported as zero. For HTML pages this is updated to the size of the (uncompressed) HTML. Upon export, size is in bytes, so please divide by 1,024 to convert to kilobytes.
- Transferred – The number of bytes that were actually transferred to load the resource, which might be less than the ‘size’ if compressed.
- Word Count – This is all ‘words’ inside the body tag, excluding HTML markup. The count is based upon the content area that can be adjusted under ‘Config > Content > Area’. By default, the nav and footer elements are excluded. You can include or exclude HTML elements, classes and IDs to calculate a refined word count. Our figures may not be exactly what performing this calculation manually would find, as the parser performs certain fix-ups on invalid HTML. Your rendering settings also affect what HTML is considered. Our definition of a word is taking the text and splitting it by spaces. No consideration is given to visibility of content (such as text inside a div set to hidden).
- Text Ratio – Number of non-HTML characters found in the HTML body tag on a page (the text), divided by the total number of characters the HTML page is made up of, and displayed as a percentage.
- Crawl Depth – Depth of the page from the start page (number of ‘clicks’ away from the start page). Please note, redirects are counted as a level currently in our page depth calculations.
- Folder Depth – Depth of the URL based upon the number of subfolders (/sub-folder/) in the URL path. This is not an SEO metric to optimise, but can be useful for segmentation, and advanced table search.
- Link Score – A metric between 0-100, which calculates the relative value of a page based upon its internal links similar to Google’s own PageRank. For this column to populate, ‘crawl analysis‘ is required.
- Inlinks – Number of internal hyperlinks to the URL. ‘Internal inlinks’ are links in anchor elements pointing to a given URL from the same subdomain that is being crawled.
- Unique Inlinks – Number of ‘unique’ internal inlinks to the URL. ‘Internal inlinks’ are links in anchor elements pointing to a given URL from the same subdomain that is being crawled. For example, if ‘page A’ links to ‘page B’ 3 times, this would be counted as 3 inlinks and 1 unique inlink to ‘page B’.
- Unique JS Inlinks – Number of ‘unique’ internal inlinks to the URL that are only in the rendered HTML after JavaScript execution. ‘Internal inlinks’ are links in anchor elements pointing to a given URL from the same subdomain that is being crawled. For example, if ‘page A’ links to ‘page B’ 3 times, this would be counted as 3 inlinks and 1 unique inlink to ‘page B’.
- % of Total – Percentage of unique internal inlinks (200 response HTML pages) to the URL from total internal HTML pages crawled. ‘Internal inlinks’ are links in anchor elements pointing to a given URI from the same subdomain that is being crawled.
- Outlinks – Number of internal outlinks from the URL. ‘Internal outlinks’ are links in anchor elements from a given URL to other URLs on the same subdomain that is being crawled.
- Unique Outlinks – Number of unique internal outlinks from the URL. ‘Internal outlinks’ are links in anchor elements from a given URL to other URLs on the same subdomain that is being crawled. For example, if ‘page A’ links to ‘page B’ on the same subdomain 3 times, this would be counted as 3 outlinks and 1 unique outlink to ‘page B’.
- Unique JS Outlinks – Number of unique internal outlinks from the URL that are only in the rendered HTML after JavaScript execution. ‘Internal outlinks’ are links in anchor elements from a given URL to other URLs on the same subdomain that is being crawled. For example, if ‘page A’ links to ‘page B’ on the same subdomain 3 times, this would be counted as 3 outlinks and 1 unique outlink to ‘page B’.
- External Outlinks – Number of external outlinks from the URL. ‘External outlinks’ are links in anchor elements from a given URL to another subdomain.
- Unique External Outlinks – Number of unique external outlinks from the URL. ‘External outlinks’ are links in anchor elements from a given URL to another subdomain. For example, if ‘page A’ links to ‘page B’ on a different subdomain 3 times, this would be counted as 3 external outlinks and 1 unique external outlink to ‘page B’.
- Unique External JS Outlinks – Number of unique external outlinks from the URL that are only in the rendered HTML after JavaScript execution. ‘External outlinks’ are links in anchor elements from a given URL to another subdomain. For example, if ‘page A’ links to ‘page B’ on a different subdomain 3 times, this would be counted as 3 external outlinks and 1 unique external outlink to ‘page B’.
- Closest Similarity Match – This shows the highest similarity percentage of a near duplicate URL. The SEO Spider will identify near duplicates with a 90% similarity match, which can be adjusted to find content with a lower similarity threshold. For example, if there were two near duplicate pages for a page with 99% and 90% similarity respectively, then 99% will be displayed here. To populate this column the ‘Enable Near Duplicates’ configuration must be selected via ‘Config > Content > Duplicates’, and post ‘Crawl Analysis’ must be performed. Only URLs with content over the selected similarity threshold will contain data, the others will remain blank. Thus by default, this column will only contain data for URLs with 90% or higher similarity, unless it has been adjusted via the ‘Config > Content > Duplicates’ and ‘Near Duplicate Similarity Threshold’ setting.
- No. Near Duplicates – The number of near duplicate URLs discovered in a crawl that meet or exceed the ‘Near Duplicate Similarity Threshold’, which is a 90% match by default. This setting can be adjusted under ‘Config > Content > Duplicates’. To populate this column the ‘Enable Near Duplicates’ configuration must be selected via ‘Config > Content > Duplicates’, and post ‘Crawl Analysis’ must be performed.
- Spelling Errors – The total number of spelling errors discovered for a URL. For this column to be populated then ‘Enable Spell Check’ must be selected via ‘Config > Content > Spelling & Grammar’.
- Grammar Errors – The total number of grammar errors discovered for a URL. For this column to be populated then ‘Enable Grammar Check’ must be selected via ‘Config > Content > Spelling & Grammar’.
- Language – The language selected for spelling and grammar checks. This is based upon the HTML language attribute, but the language can also be set via ‘Config > Content > Spelling & Grammar’.
- Hash – Hash value of the page using the MD5 algorithm. This is a duplicate content check for exact duplicate content only. If two hash values match, the pages are exactly the same in content. If there’s a single character difference, they will have unique hash values and not be detected as duplicate content. So this is not a check for near duplicate content. The exact duplicates can be seen under ‘URL > Duplicate’.
- Response Time – Time in seconds to download the URL. More detailed information can be found in our FAQ.
- Last-Modified – Read from the Last-Modified header in the servers HTTP response. If there server does not provide this the value will be empty.
- Redirect URI – If the ‘address’ URL redirects, this column will include the redirect URL target. The status code above will display the type of redirect, 301, 302 etc.
- Redirect Type – One of: HTTP Redirect: triggered by an HTTP header, HSTS Policy: Turned around locally by the SEO Spider due to a previous HSTS header, JavaScript Redirect: triggered by execution of JavaScript (can only happen when using JavaScript rendering) or MetaRefresh Redirect: triggered by a meta refresh tag in the HTML.
- HTTP Version – This shows the HTTP version the crawl was under, which will be HTTP/1.1 by default. The SEO Spider currently only crawls using HTTP/2 in JavaScript rendering mode, if it’s enabled by the server.
- URL Encoded Address – The URL actually requested by the SEO Spider. All non ASCII characters percent encoded, see RFC 3986 for further details.
- Title 2, meta description 2, h1-2, h2-2 etc – The SEO Spider will collect data from the first two elements it encounters in the source code. Hence, h1-2 is data from the second h1 heading on the page.
