Why didn't Backlink Audit fetch all my backlinks and referring domains?

Why didn't Backlink Audit fetch all my backlinks and referring domains?

Our crawler is indexing backlinks constantly but the Internet is almost infinite. So it may take some time for the tool to add backlinks to our database.

Also, Backlink Audit is domain centric and only pulls up to 500 backlinks per referring domain. Due to this technical limitation, some backlinks may be not included in your audit campaign.

Another reason might be that the backlinks in question are located on pages blocked from indexing with a noindex tag (X-Robots-Tag) or restricted by robots instructions. If our crawler is blocked on the domain/pages where the backlinks are posted, the tool won’t show such backlinks.

Backlink Audit can integrate with Google Search Console and Majestic accounts to increase the scope of links you are auditing.

If you have a list of backlinks that you want to audit, you can upload it manually using the csv format and the backlinks will be added to the report. Please note that the backlinks which are wrapped in Javascript or don’t respond with the 200 HTTP status code won’t be added to your audit campaign.
