Reports

Slim SEO Link Manager provides several reports to help you understand links on your website. Based on the data here, you'll have an overview of your links, see problems, and fix them.

Top linked pages

This report shows you which pages are linked to the most. All links counted here are internal links.

Each line in the report shows you the page title and the number of links that page has.

It's very important to know the number of links each page has because the more links, the more important a page is. Important pages should be your homepage or service/product/pricing pages depending on your website structure and the website silo. If you find a page that you don't want to recognize as an important page, you should remove links to it.
