Backlink Checker
Check Crawly’s indexed backlink count and referring domains for a domain. Enter a website address to see the link data available in Crawly’s index.
Enter a domain such as example.com. If you enter a full URL, the lookup uses its domain.
About this checker
The backlink count and referring domains come from Crawly’s link index. Coverage may differ from other backlink providers, and this tool does not export a full list of linking URLs.
The domain is sent to Crawly’s API to retrieve indexed link counts. Page content is not submitted. Crawly may not have discovered every backlink, so treat these numbers as estimates.
What backlink counts can and cannot tell you
The results come from Crawly's link index, so they represent links Crawly has discovered and processed. A backlink count is not a complete inventory and does not show whether every link is valuable. Review referring domains, page context and Search Console's Links report together.
Common questions
Does this show every backlink to a website?
No. Crawly may not have discovered or indexed every link. Counts can differ from Google Search Console and other backlink providers.
Can I see the exact pages linking to a domain?
This checker returns the indexed link counts and referring-domain signals available through Crawly. It does not provide a full export of every linking URL.
Are more backlinks always better?
No. Relevance and context matter. A larger count alone does not show whether links help users or comply with Google's spam policies.

How to use the Backlink Checker
- Enter a domain like example.com in the 'Website domain' field; if you paste a full URL, the tool uses its domain.
- Click the 'Check backlinks' button and wait for the lookup against Crawly's link index.
- Review the metric cards showing the indexed backlink count and referring-domain signals.
- Treat the numbers as estimates and cross-check them with Search Console's Links report for your own sites.
Why it matters
Backlinks remain one of the strongest signals Google uses to judge a page's authority and trust. A quick backlink count helps you vet outreach prospects, benchmark competitors' link profiles, and spot whether a domain's authority claims match reality. Counts alone never tell the whole story, but they are the fastest way to decide which sites deserve a deeper link-profile review before you invest in outreach.
Backlink Checker FAQs
Does this checker show every backlink to a website?
No. The counts come from Crawly's link index, so they only reflect links Crawly has discovered and processed. Results can differ from Google Search Console and other backlink providers. Treat the numbers as estimates for research, not as a complete inventory of a site's links.
Can I see the exact pages linking to a domain?
No. This checker returns the indexed backlink counts and referring-domain signals available through Crawly's API. It does not provide a full export of every linking URL. For the complete list of sites linking to you, use Google Search Console's Links report or a paid backlink database.
Are more backlinks always better?
No. The relevance of the linking site, the context of the link, and whether it complies with Google's spam policies matter far more than raw count. A few relevant editorial links can outweigh hundreds of low-quality ones, so always look beyond the headline number.
Why do these numbers differ from Search Console?
Search Console shows links Google found pointing to your verified property, while Crawly shows what its own crawler discovered. Different crawlers, crawl schedules and index sizes produce different counts. Use both sources together for a fuller picture of a link profile.
