What is a Nofollow Link Checker?

A Nofollow Link Checker inspects the HTML source code of a webpage to extract all hyperlinks containing the rel="nofollow", rel="sponsored", or rel="ugc" attributes. These directives instruct search engine crawlers not to endorse or pass PageRank authority to the target URL.
