Test Configuration
This Page's Status:
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">  <!-- INDEXABLE -->
Links to Non-Indexable Pages:

This page intentionally links to pages that have noindex:

Link #1: noindex-with-links.html NOINDEX
Has <meta name="robots" content="noindex">
Link #2: x-robots-noindex.html NOINDEX
Has X-Robots-Tag: noindex header
Link #3: noindex-with-links.html (duplicate link) NOINDEX
Same target, additional wasted link
What This Tests:
  • Detection of indexable pages that link to noindex targets
  • Counting of "bad" outbound links
  • Percentage calculation (bad links / total outbound)
  • Severity based on percentage: >20% = High, 10-20% = Medium, <10% = Low
SEO Impact:
Problem: When an indexable page links to noindex pages, search engines follow those links but can't index the destination. This wastes crawl budget and confuses the site's link structure.
Recommended Fix:
  1. Add rel="nofollow" to links pointing to noindex pages
  2. Or remove the noindex directive from target pages if they should be indexed
  3. Or remove the links entirely if they're not needed
Expected Detection
Issue Type: Links to Non-Indexable
Severity: Medium-High
Bad Links: 3 links to noindex
Total Outbound: ~6-8 links
