What Link Manager is
Link Manager is a WordPress plugin for publishers who want to monitor link health, discover linking opportunities, track clicks, and automate linking tasks. Its dashboard shows per-post internal and inbound links, optimization status, click counts, and automatic links. In the post editor, it suggests posts to link using title overlap, categories, tags, and post type. The Pro broken-link feature scans published content and records HTTP status codes, including 404 errors, redirects, and server failures. Click tracking records the source post, destination URL, anchor text, and click date and time. Automatic-link rules can target post types, categories, and tags, with limits for each rule. Tables can be exported as CSV, and configuration as XML. It runs on self-hosted WordPress and requires WordPress 5.9 or greater and PHP 7.4 or greater.
