@Broad-snouted Caiman I am getting this message in SEMrush after page audit. Is this correct? does Next Link component has no follow by default?
i can't reproduce:
doesn't add the
import Link from "next/link";
export default function Page() {
return <Link href="https://google.com">Hello world</Link>;
}doesn't add the
nofollow, and the [source code of next/link](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/blob/canary/packages/next/src/client/link.tsx) doesn't have any mentions of nofollow or any rel valuesBroad-snouted CaimanOP

Answer
can you give me the URL of the page? so i can inspect the actual
<a> tags generated?Broad-snouted CaimanOP
you can also simply right click => View page source and look at the
<a> tagsif they have
rel="nofollow", then SEMRush is right, else it's just false positiveBroad-snouted CaimanOP
They do not
that's an internal link. could you find an external link?
ok at least for the homepage, external links here don't have the
nofollow tag, so you're all goodI think that service is just giving you false positives
Broad-snouted CaimanOP
It actually saying about internal links lol
@joulev I think that service is just giving you false positives
Broad-snouted CaimanOP
Yeah, that's what I thought, thanks you very much
yes i inspected your <a> on the homepage and they're all fine, none of them have the
nofollow
