LC HoverPeek enhances user experience by showing a preview popup when visitors hover over links inside your content.
When a user hovers over a link, the plugin fetches preview information and displays a small popup containing:
<ul>
<li>Post title</li>
<li>Featured image</li>
<li>Short excerpt</li>
<li>Link preview</li>
</ul>
For external links, the plugin automatically fetches metadata such as:
<ul>
<li>Page title</li>
<li>Description</li>
<li>Open Graph image (if available)</li>
</ul>
This allows users to quickly preview the destination without leaving the current page.
The plugin is lightweight, optimized for performance, and designed to work with most WordPress themes.
