Outlinks To Localhost

What This Means

Pages that contain links that reference localhost or the 127.0.0.1 loopback address. Localhost is the address of the local computer, which is used in development to view a site in a browser without being connected to the internet. These links will not work for users on a live website.

What Triggers This Issue

This issue is triggered when pages contain links that reference localhost or the 127.0.0.1 loopback address. For example:

<a href="http://localhost/page/">Anchor</a>

How To Fix

Review the ‘Outlinks’ tab for the localhost and/or 127.0.0.1 loopback address links and update them to the correct publicly available URL address.
