link

An internal link does not use rel="nofollow".

Why: nofollow on your own links stops search engines from following them, so your own pages are found and ranked less.

When off: internal nofollow links pass.

<!-- ✗ Fails -->
<a href="/about/" rel="nofollow">About</a>

<!-- ✓ Passes -->
<a href="/about/">About</a>
