Outlinks are every link found on a page. Internal outlinks point to your own URLs. External outlinks point to other domains.
Auditing outlinks shows broken destinations, links that pass through redirects and pages that link out excessively.
Outlinks to broken or redirected URLs create a poor experience and waste crawl budget. A page's outlinks also decide how its link equity is shared.
VisibilityKit Crawler records the outlinks for every page it crawls, with their status, so you can find links to broken or redirected destinations in one place.
Only when you do not want to vouch for the destination, such as paid or user-generated links. Normal editorial links can stay followed.
Very large numbers dilute the equity each link passes and can make the page harder to use. Keep them purposeful.
