Indigothorn Internal Links

Internal links help readers and search engines find your best content, but adding them by hand is tedious. Indigothorn Internal Links reads your posts and, while you edit, suggests which other posts to link to and which phrase already in your text to use as the link. One click inserts the link; your sentences are never rewritten.

• Link suggestions panel in the block editor, working on unsaved changes too.
• Anchor text from your own words: only phrases that appear in your text and match the title of the target post.
• Orphaned posts report (Tools → Link Assistant): posts no other post links to, and for each one the posts that could link to it, with the phrase to use.
• Classic editor: the same suggestions in a “Link suggestions” box next to the editor, with Insert link and Dismiss, in the Visual and Text tabs.
• Link counts: inbound and outbound internal links for every post, with a summary (posts without inbound links, posts that link nowhere), search and sorting. Also wp indigothorn-internal-links counts.
• Dismiss a suggestion you do not want: that post is never proposed for that link again, in the editor or the report, until you restore it.
• Insert links from the report: tick the posts that should link to an orphan, check the before/after preview and insert all links at once, without opening each post. Every change is saved as a revision.
• Works out of the box: no keywords to configure, no AI service, nothing leaves your site.
• WP-CLI: wp indigothorn-internal-links index, wp indigothorn-internal-links orphans.

Why this one

Most free internal-linking plugins make you type keywords by hand and then link them automatically everywhere. Paid tools such as Link Whisper read your content instead. Indigothorn Internal Links does that for free: it reads your posts, suggests where to link, and lets you decide.

• Relevant: in our tests every suggestion pointed to a post on the same topic (477 suggestions on an English site, 145 on a site mixing Polish, English and German).
• Natural anchors: a single word is only used when it is one of the distinctive words of the target title, so you will not get links on words like “first” or “guide”.
• Fast on big sites: with 10,000 posts, suggestions appear in about 70 ms; the index is built in the background (about 6 ms per post).
