Junction - External Links Controller for WordPress

External links can behave differently from one page to the next, depending on how each author added them. Checking every link by hand takes time, and mistakes are easy to miss. Junction handles this with rules you define in the plugin settings, so outbound links follow the same behavior across the site. You do not need to write code to set it up.

The rules can target specific domains, URLs or link types, so one site can treat different destinations in different ways. Internal links are left alone, which keeps your own site structure as it is. Bloggers, marketers and web developers who want predictable outbound link behavior will find it a practical fit for sites of any size.

Features

• Rule-based link management: Create custom rules that decide how external links behave on your site, so the same handling applies wherever those links appear.
• Automatic nofollow attributes: Add nofollow to external links automatically, which gives you control over how your site passes link equity to other sites.
• Open links in new tabs: Have external links open in a new window so visitors can follow a link and still keep your page open.
• Domain and URL targeting: Set specific behaviors for individual domains or URLs, giving you fine control over how each external destination is handled.
• Link type rules: Configure rules based on link destinations, specific domains or link types, so each external link behaves the way you want.
• Internal links left untouched: Internal links are excluded automatically, so your rules only affect outbound links and your internal structure stays unchanged.
• No coding required: Plugin settings are laid out for site owners, so you can configure external link behavior without editing theme files or writing code.
• Works with existing tools: Designed to sit alongside your current WordPress themes, plugins and SEO tools without getting in their way.
