Internal link count changed
What this page tests
Check Internal link counts (links.internal_count_change), alert links.internal_count_change.
Many pages changed how many internal links they output. That can alter crawl paths and which URLs receive internal equity.
Why it matters
Many pages changed how many internal links they output. That can alter crawl paths and which URLs receive internal equity.
How the fail is produced
Main content includes extra internal links. Sidebar links are shared; change the extra content links after a baseline to trip the count.
This page is part of the TechDash Test Site used to exercise the TechDash desktop app. Each fixture isolates a single check so you can add one path at a time and see a clear pass or fail. Search engines and users rely on stable HTTP responses, index signals, metadata, and site files. When those signals drift, organic visibility, crawl efficiency, and measurement can all suffer. Keep the homepage as the healthy control origin, then monitor the specific path you want to fail. Substantial body copy is included so thin-content and soft-404 heuristics do not fire unless that is the intended test.
Extra internal links:Empty title tag,soft 404 suspected,JSON-LD parse error.
