Plan a Link-Purpose Review for a Long Document — Free
Turn a manual count of ambiguous links into a realistic editing allocation. Keep reviewed sections visible instead of assuming every “read more” label has the same destination.
The proof surface
Heading audits check structure. This tracks the distinct editorial job of resolving ambiguous link purpose, using counts supplied by a human rather than a false automated compliance score.
Why the flat version breaks
Calling every repeated label wrong
Context can distinguish identical link text; review the purpose first.
Counting only blue text
Links can occur in footnotes, images and navigation areas.
Promising compliance from a count
The tool neither opens the document nor evaluates link destinations.
How to work the hyperlink galley
Navigate the document with a links list and in reading order. Count all links, then separately count those whose purpose needs editorial review; repeated labels are not automatically failures.
Use section labels such as admissions or fees, not recipient names or private URLs. The grouping lets the right editor review the destination and surrounding sentence together.
Set minutes per ambiguous link from a short trial. Include opening the destination, checking whether it moved and rewriting meaningful text rather than merely replacing “click here”.
Recount the remaining ambiguous links once changes are made. Zero means your list has no outstanding reviews, not that the document passes every accessibility requirement.
What the hyperlink galley replaces
| Question | Before | Visible working |
|---|---|---|
| Calling every repeated label wrong | Context can distinguish identical link text; review the purpose first. | Group by responsible section |
| Counting only blue text | Links can occur in footnotes, images and navigation areas. | Reserve investigation time |
| Promising compliance from a count | The tool neither opens the document nor evaluates link destinations. | Recheck after editing |
A local arithmetic aid replaces hand calculation, not expert review. No paid AI service is needed.

FIRST-LOAD
Input is processed locally. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
This allocates manual review time and does not test WCAG conformance. Ask an accessibility reviewer to check link purpose in context and with assistive technology.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the hyperlink galley: your section | all links | links needing review stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Go deeper: the companion app files the same reading as a bound register page
The article demo above runs without limits. The companion app keeps a local history, exports the rows as CSV, prints the hyperlink galley reading, and holds your drafts on this device — one free run, then $ 4 one-time for the layer that keeps filing.
The hyperlink galley reading is complete for free. The optional $4 layer adds print, row CSV and the last five local reading summaries; it does not add hidden answers. Checkout is not configured yet; the article demo remains unlimited.

What this is built on
- Method: Set minutes per ambiguous link from a short trial. Include opening the destination, checking whether it moved and rewriting meaningful text rather than merely replacing “click here”.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-27, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.
Before: Context can distinguish identical link text; review the purpose first. After: the hyperlink galley shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.
Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this hyperlink galley, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a hyperlink galley. Return plain rows only: section | all links | links needing review. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: section | all links | links needing review. No AI response is executed as code.
