Website Internal Link Optimiser

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 300+ in roughly 146 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   When you have a large site, with older pages that you need to clean out, it’s great to be able to see if any pages are linking to a page so you can remove the link, delete the page, and put a 301 on it. I love that it’s browser based. I will be installing this on my clients site as a default plugin. Thanks to the developers!

   Very good and intuitive tool. Very helpful, but doesn’t work on WPML multilingual pages.

   I recently started using the Internal Link Optimizer plugin, and I must say, it has completely transformed my website’s SEO strategy. From the moment I installed it, I noticed an immediate improvement in the way my internal links could be organized and optimized. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. The plugin worked seamlessly with my existing website setup. Overall, the Internal Link Optimizer plugin is a must-have for anyone looking to improve their website’s internal linking structure. It’s efficient, user-friendly, and backed by a support team that truly cares about your success. I highly recommend giving it a try! This topic was modified 2 years, 11 months ago by DevanToast.

   Gave me exactly the information I was looking for – the pages in my blog which had internal links to a particular page. What startled me was that the link to the tool was on my actual end-user blog. I looked for a link on my WordPress menu/dashboard and couldn’t find it. It is actually on the actual page as I navigated to it in my browser. I navigated to the “destination page” of the internal links, clicked on the animated Wilo gif and voila! I got the list I wanted, and was able to download the list as well. Thanks a lot!

   The plugin does just what I needed. There are many premium plugins that provide this function but a whole load of other stuff as well that bulks up the site that I don’t need. The only bug I’ve encountered was during activation (see separate support request).

   I was so excited to find this plugin because it’s exactly what I’m looking for, after installation I kept getting errors more commonly header errors so I had to uninstall it.
