EFL (external dofollow count) is how many dofollow links on the linking page point to other sites. A high EFL means the page shares equity across more external links.

Hover the EFL number:
  • External Dofollow — the EFL value in the cell
  • External Nofollow — nofollow links to other sites
  • Internal Links — links that stay on the same site
EFL is 8% of the LQS mix. If EFL is missing, that slice counts as neutral.
