We announced recently that we had started writing an SEO plugin for WordPress. Ahead of the SEO plugin we built another one that will be rather useful to you, and we submitted it for review in the WordPress.org Plugin section a moment ago. It will be reviewed by the WordPress.org editors shortly. Once it is approved we will share the link from the WordPress plugin directory with you here.

The plugin is in English only for now. Its official presentation page is the External Links Lister WordPress Plugin page.

For manual installation : download the plugin directly

Update : the plugin had its whole foundation rebuilt on 2 January 2025 and was published with a new design. In that update you can exclude the most commonly used domains.

Sending Suggestions for the Plugin

You can let us know about features you find missing in the plugin, and your suggestions for developing it. To do that, please write to [email protected]. You can take a part in developing the plugin yourself and contribute to the growth of something we offer free of charge.

Installing the Plugin Manually

  1. Download the plugin file to your computer.
  2. From the WordPress admin panel, go to Plugins > Add Plugin > Upload Plugin.
  3. Select the plugin under Browse and upload it.
  4. Activate the plugin.

After you activate it you will see a link named “External Link” in the left menu. From that section you can check every outgoing link you have. On the first run all of your posts are crawled, so opening it may take a little time.
