External Links – nofollow, noopener & new window

WP Links is a plugin that allows users to manage all external and internal links on their site, including control over icons, nofollow, noopener, ugc, sponsored, and whether links open in a new window or tab. The plugin has been completely rebuilt in version 2 and includes new features such as noopener, ugc, and sponsored values for rel, font icons, internal links options, and full WPMU support. WP Links PRO also includes a Link Scanner feature to check every single link on a site and an Exit Confirmation feature to protect visitors and traffic when external links are clicked.
