First, you will want a CSV containing all of your inside hyperlinks.
On the very least, your file ought to have a column for the supply (origin of the inner hyperlink) and a column for the vacation spot (the place the hyperlink leads). Nonetheless, if attainable, embrace extra columns for the anchor, standing code, and kind of hyperlink (reminiscent of picture, textual content, and hreflang) to counterpoint your evaluation.

Supply: The web page the place the hyperlink is situated.

Vacation spot: Factors to the goal web page.
