External Links New Tab is a simple, lightweight, and powerful plugin that enhances your website’s user experience and security with a single click. Once activated, it intelligently scans your content and automatically modifies all links pointing to external websites to open in a new browser tab.
Why is this important?
Boosts User Engagement: By opening external links in a new tab, you keep visitors on your site. They can explore the linked content without losing their place, making them more likely to continue browsing your website afterward.
Improves Security: The plugin automatically adds rel=”noopener noreferrer” to all external links. This is a critical security measure that prevents a vulnerability known as “tabnabbing.”
Set It and Forget It: There are absolutely no settings to configure. Simply install the plugin, activate it, and it works instantly.
This plugin is perfect for bloggers, business owners, and anyone who wants to provide a better, safer browsing experience for their audience without any technical hassle.
