Frequently Asked Questions

What is a URL extractor?

A URL extractor is a tool that scans a web page and pulls out every link it contains into a clean, deduplicated list. The output is useful for SEO audits, QA testing, broken-link checks, and feeding into crawlers or HTTP testers.

What does the URL Extractor do?

It fetches a web page and extracts every <a href> link found in the HTML — both internal and external URLs — into a deduplicated list you can copy or download.

Is the URL extractor free?

Yes, the URL extractor is completely free with no signup or subscription required, and there are no per-extraction limits for normal usage.

Does it fetch external links too?

Yes, the tool lists all links found on the page, including both internal links (same domain) and external links (other domains).

Does it work with JavaScript-rendered pages?

The tool parses the static HTML returned by the server. For Single Page Apps where links are added by JavaScript after page load, paste a pre-rendered HTML snapshot to extract the post-render links.

Are duplicates removed automatically?

Yes, the extracted list is deduplicated automatically so the same URL appearing multiple times on a page only shows up once in the output.

Can I download the extracted links?

Yes, use the Download button to save the list as a TXT file (one URL per line), or click Copy to send the list to your clipboard.

Is my input stored?

No. The extraction runs in your browser session and TestMu AI does not log the target URL or the links found.

Can the tool extract links from a sitemap.xml?

The tool extracts <a href> links from HTML pages. For sitemap.xml files (which use <loc> elements), use a dedicated sitemap parser — but most HTML index pages and content pages work fine.

What can I use the extracted URLs for?

Common uses include SEO audits (checking internal linking), QA testing (validating status codes and redirects), broken-link detection, building sitemaps, monitoring uptime, and feeding URLs to web crawlers or HTTP test scripts.
