LinkJuice
Internal-Link Teardowns

We pointed LinkJuice at famous brands — and most of their link equity goes nowhere new.

We crawled well-known FMCG websites and mapped every internal link. The pattern repeats: the vast majority of links live in navigation menus and footers, products and content fight over the scraps — and some pages are simply dead. Pick a teardown.

How we do it

Every teardown is built from a real crawl of the brand's public site. LinkJuice maps the internal link graph, classifies each link by DOM position (navigation, header, footer, content), computes internal PageRank, and flags redirects and dead URLs. Every headline number is verified against raw HTTP status codes — no rate-limited pages mislabelled as broken.
