What this report catches
When you (or a writer on your team) add internal links to a post, it's easy to accidentally link to the same URL more than once. A single post linking to /best-coffee/ three times in three different anchor texts looks unintentional and reads as spammy.
Linkilo's Same URL check flags every post where the same destination URL is linked more than once within that post.
Where to find it
- On the Summary: go to Linkilo → Summary. In the Link Issues section the Same URL card shows how many posts link to the same URL more than once. It turns green when the count is zero.
- Site-wide list: click the card (View All →) to open the Same URLs Records list — every affected post with its internal, outbound and external link counts.
The count comes from the latest completed Perform Scan. After you clean up duplicates, run the scan again to see the number drop.
Why it matters
A handful of repeats per article is normal. Dozens across the site adds up to a pattern Google notices. The Same URL check lets you:
- Spot accidental duplicates in newly published posts before they become a problem
- Catch writer mistakes at scale — across a content team, accidental repeats add up fast
- Clean up legacy content that accumulated duplicates over years of edits
How to fix a duplicate
Open the affected post from the list and find the repeated destination. Keep the first instance (usually the most contextually appropriate) and either remove the later links or point them at a different, relevant page. Save the post.
A note on intentional duplicates
Not every duplicate is a mistake. A long article that legitimately references the same source three times might be fine. Use the list as a starting point — review the anchors and decide which to keep.
