Nofollow on internal link

How to fix it

Remove rel=nofollow from internal links. Reserve it for genuine UGC or paid placements.

Sibling checks in this category

• No outgoing internal links - The page links to nothing else on the site. Crawlers cannot use it as a hub.
• Double-slash in URL - The URL contains a doubled slash, often produced by a templating bug, and can split crawl signals.
• Too many URL parameters - The URL stacks many query parameters, which can fragment crawl coverage and confuse canonicalisation.
• Orphan page - No internal page links here. Search engines reach it only via the sitemap, with weak ranking signals.
