Check redirects and HTTP headers

The “HTTP headers” tab in Ahrefs SEO Toolbar can show you the complete redirect chain (if any) that leads to the destination page.

It also shows the HTTP headers of any URL. These headers can contain X-Robots-Tags with the directives for crawlers and are often overlooked.


Find and highlight various types of links (including broken ones)

The “Links” tab lists all outbound links found on a page. This tool can also check the status of the outgoing links on demand.

You can apply the following filters:

  • Internal

  • External

  • Nofollow

  • UGC

  • Sponsored

  • Redirect

  • Broken

The “Highlight” button will make these links easily visible on the page.

This section also allows you to export the list of outgoing links with their attributes into a .csv file.
