About this plugin
WC Internal Links is developed by Wild Creek Web Studio.
WC Internal Links is a WordPress internal linking plugin built for editors and SEO teams that want useful suggestions without giving up editorial control.
It helps you find places to add internal links, identify orphaned and weakly linked content, review natural anchor text, and maintain links from inside WordPress.
Nothing is inserted automatically. You choose the links you want to add.
Find links to a post
Choose a page you want to strengthen. WC Internal Links searches existing published content for natural places that can link to that page.
You can review the source page, sentence context, suggested anchor text, and relevance before adding the link.
Find links from a post
Open a post or page and find relevant destinations it can link to. Suggestions appear inside the WordPress editor, where you can edit the anchor text and select only the links you want.
Fix orphaned content
The dedicated Orphaned Posts workflow shows published content with no inbound internal links. Open an orphan, review suggested source pages, and add approved links.
See link counts in WordPress
WC Internal Links adds inbound and outbound internal-link counts to supported WordPress content list screens. You can open linking workflows directly from Posts and Pages.
Use existing SEO focus keywords
When you have not saved WC Internal Links keywords for a post, the plugin can use focus keywords from:
- Rank Math
- Yoast SEO
- Yoast SEO Premium related keyphrases
- SEOPress
You can also enter your own preferred anchor phrases.
Local relevance analysis
Suggestions are generated on your WordPress site. WC Internal Links uses local statistical relevance analysis to shortlist related content and find natural anchor phrases.
It does not send post content to an external AI service or vector database.
Link maintenance tools
The plugin can also:
- Report weakly linked content.
- Check internal and external links in controlled batches.
- Remove a reported link while preserving its anchor text.
- Preview and replace an old internal URL inside selected posts.
- Create WordPress revisions before server-side content changes.
- Track plugin-managed link changes.
- Ignore utility or non-strategic posts and restore them later.
- Limit suggestions and internal links per post.
- Avoid headings, existing linked text, and overlapping anchor suggestions.
WC Internal Links loads its CSS and JavaScript only in WordPress administration and editor screens where the plugin is used.
Privacy
WC Internal Links stores its link index, local relevance data, link-check results, settings, and change history in the site’s WordPress database.
The plugin does not transmit post content or personal data to Wild Creek Web Studio.
When external-link checking is enabled, the site makes HTTP requests to the external URLs being checked. Those requests are required to determine link status.
