Impact: Negative

What issues it may cause​

Pages with a very large number of links are likely to be very large, which may be slow to load and affect user-experience and consume more crawl budget.

PageRank will be distributed through a very large number of pages, instead of being focused on the most important pages.

How do you fix it​

The links should be reviewed to determine if they all pointing to valuable pages, and any low value links should be removed.

What is the positive impact​

The page size may be reduced resulting in faster loading pages and a better user-experience.

PageRank will be focused on the most important pages, helping them to rank higher in search results and drive more traffic and conversions.
