Several replies pointed readers toward browser add-ons and viewing page source (see posts by , and ). That is still a fast way to spot link attributes, but modern context matters: Google now recognizes rel="sponsored" and rel="ugc" and treats rel="nofollow" as a hint (not an absolute block). Interpreting a link’s SEO effect requires looking at the rel attribute, page-level directives, and how the page is rendered. (developers.google.com)

How to verify a link (practical): open the browser’s DOM inspector (right‑click → Inspect) and examine the anchor element for a rel value; view the raw page source for any rel="nofollow" values; check for a meta name="robots" tag or an X-Robots-Tag header that can instruct crawlers to not follow links on the whole page. The browser Elements/Inspector shows the live DOM and attributes for quick confirmation. (developer.chrome.com)

Example of what to look for in HTML:

<a href="https://example.com" rel="ugc sponsored">Example anchor</a>

Notes: there is no official rel="dofollow"—a normal link without a restrictive rel is effectively a “follow” link; multiple rel values are allowed (space- or comma-separated) and can be combined for compatibility or clarity. (webmasters.stackexchange.com)

Programmatic checks: a plain curl/HTTP fetch plus grep will find rel= in the static HTML, but many sites inject links via JavaScript; in those cases a headless browser (Puppeteer/Playwright) must render the page before inspecting the DOM. Also verify HTTP headers for X-Robots-Tag or page meta robots if links seem “ignored” by crawlers. Quick checklist: inspect the anchor rel, check page meta/headers, test both static and rendered HTML, and interpret rel values as hints rather than guarantees. (pptr.dev)

Add Search status toolbar on your browser and enable the dofollow links option. It's an ezy way to differentiate dofollow and nofollow links on a webpage.

Member Avatar for smart.samanthaa

Hi everyone there are lots of tools in Search engines but if you have Firefox then you must use this NoDoFollow 1.1 plugin to check do-follow and no-follow links.

Member Avatar for jewelraz

I don't desperately check for nofollow and dofollow. If I only post in dofollow forums/blogs then I am doing overoptimization. So, I have to do both nofollow and dofollow. You can check dofollow/nofollow by checking page source.

In mozilla, you can check it by mozilla ad-on plugins or by viewing the source code.
In chrome, right click on the link and press inspect then you can see the ref = nodollow tag.

With the SEOXray part of SEObook Toolbar, you can download all the links data of any page of any site, and can filer into ext/int or nofollow/dofollow if you want, and a lot more besides.
