What is Screpy Backlink Checker?
Screpy Backlink Checker is a project-level backlink analysis workflow for examining the external pages and domains linking to a website. It records the source, destination, anchor, follow type, rank and quality context, status, dates, and link location needed to monitor authority and investigate off-page SEO changes.
Discover sources and destinations
- Screpy Backlink discovery finds external links pointing to a domain, while Referring domains groups those links by the websites providing them.
- Screpy Source and target page review keeps the referring page, linked URL, and destination page together for every backlink.
- Screpy Anchor text analysis reports the visible anchor wording used by the referring page.
- Screpy Linkable page analysis identifies the destination pages attracting external links for protection or further promotion.
Evaluate each backlink
- Screpy Link rank metrics reports backlink, page, and domain rank signals for relative source comparison.
- Screpy Dofollow and nofollow links shows the reported link type alongside the backlink record.
- Screpy Spam and authority signals provides quality context for manual review; those signals do not automatically define a link as harmful.
- Screpy Link status details reports status and target URL, while Semantic link location adds context about where the link appears on the source page.
Track profile changes
- Screpy New and lost links identifies links entering or leaving the backlink profile for timely investigation.
- Screpy Historical link movement tracks those gains and losses over time rather than treating a single crawl as the whole profile.
- Screpy First and last seen dates distinguishes a recent discovery from an older link that has disappeared.
- Screpy Anchor text distribution aggregates anchor patterns so unusual concentrations can be reviewed across the profile.
Recover and protect link value
- Screpy Broken backlinks identifies external links pointing to unavailable URLs before their value is lost.
- Screpy Broken link recovery supports a restoration, relevant redirect, or review decision for links to missing pages.
- Screpy Authority protection identifies valuable links and sources that deserve attention when content, redirects, or URLs change.
- Screpy Outreach research context uses relevant referring websites and linked content as starting context for relationship building or digital PR work.
Report the off-page workflow
- Screpy Backlink profile reports shares backlink changes, referring-domain activity, and quality context with a client or team.
- Screpy Link portfolio updates records what changed, which destination pages were affected, and the next off-page action.

Backlink checker questions.
Learn how backlink analysis helps teams understand referring domains, link changes, broken links, and off-page SEO authority.
What does a backlink checker show?
A backlink checker shows external links pointing to a website. Useful details include the referring domain, source page, target URL, anchor text, follow status, discovery status, and available quality signals.
Why should I monitor new and lost backlinks?
New links can show growing visibility or successful outreach. Lost links may result from deleted pages, changed content, broken targets, or website updates. Monitoring both helps teams understand how the backlink profile changes.
What is a broken backlink?
A broken backlink is an external link pointing to a URL that no longer works as expected. Restoring the page or adding an appropriate redirect may improve the visitor journey and preserve useful link value.
Does a spam score prove that a backlink is harmful?
No. Spam and authority metrics are review signals, not final judgments. Evaluate the source, relevance, link pattern, target page, and broader context before deciding whether a backlink needs action.
