Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Vipezer No External Link version 1.0.0 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Vipezer No External Link gives you full control over the external links in your content.
When you select Automatically process on publish, every post you publish or update is scanned for links that point to other websites. You choose what happens to them:
Keep the links and add attributes – adds rel="nofollow", noopener and noreferrer (you can also add sponsored, ugc and target="_blank" ).
Remove the link, keep the text – the link is removed but the visible text stays in your post.
Remove the link and its text entirely – the whole link including its text is removed from the content.
Links that point to your own site are never touched by default. You can also keep links to specific domains with a simple allow-list.
Every post has its own override setting on the edit screen, so you can always force processing on, or keep one post untouched.
Built for safety
Compatible with PHP 7.4 through the latest PHP 8.x releases.
All processing happens with a built-in fallback and error handling so publishing never fails.
No tracking, no external services, no data sent anywhere.
Cleanly deletes all its settings when you remove the plugin.
How it works
The plugin inspects your content the moment a post is published (or updated) and modifies external links based on your settings. Content is changed once, stored safely, and displayed normally.
