Link Manager
What Link Manager is
Link Manager is a WordPress plugin for publishers who need to monitor and manage links across their site. Its dashboard shows internal and inbound links by post, optimization status, click counts, and automatic links. In the post editor, suggestions identify posts that may be relevant to link based on title overlap, shared categories, tags, and post type. The Pro broken-link checker scans URLs in published content and records HTTP status codes such as 404 errors, redirects, and server failures. Click tracking records the source post, destination URL, anchor text, and the date and time of each click. Automatic linking rules can be targeted by post type, category, and tag, and each rule can have its own limit. Tables can be exported as CSV, and plugin configuration as XML. A free version provides part of the plugin’s functionality. Paid annual plans begin at $59 a year for one website and all Pro features. Link Manager runs on self-hosted WordPress and requires WordPress 5.9 or later and PHP 7.4 or later. It is designed to work with translation plugins including WPML and TranslatePress.
Who it suits
Link Manager suits WordPress publishers who want link-health checks, click tracking, and tools for adding or updating links. It is also relevant to teams working with WPML or TranslatePress, and to site owners who need CSV tables or XML configuration exports.
