Is it helpful to be able to visualize internal linking structure?

[PLI Writers]

Having proper internal linking is important, but I haven't found a tool where you can view the entire internal linking structure at a glance. This should make it easier to spot orphaned or under linked pages. I'm a visual person, so I created this online tool where given a sitemap, it'll show a graph of the website's internal linking.

I think sometimes it's hard for others to understand what I'm talking about just via text. The basic demo below gives you an example graph, and you can enter your site's sitemap to see what happens.

I think it is very useful to visualize internal link structure. We did add visualization to our websites.

Yes, visualizing your internal linking structure helps identify gaps, improve navigation, and ensure effective link distribution.

Can this tool be used for sites with a lot of content? My site has 200k contents.

Yeah, I think it could definitely be useful.

I still haven't added a "Link Visualization" feature to Linkter.ai but it's definitely in the works. My main issue is that wherever I saw the visualization elsewhere, it often made things more confusing, instead of less. This was especially true on larger content websites that have 500+ pages and a ton of internal links.

So I want to figure out a way to make it less cluttered, and possibly add a better visualization of actual link juice passing to pages by taking the backlink data into equation.

Yes for the backend. But the frontend is custom php.
