This plugin stores the following data about bot visits in a custom database table:

The plugin allows to obfuscate links in 3 parts of our WordPress:
<ul>
<li>Menu items.</li>
<li>Links within post and page content.</li>
<li>Links within the content of HTML widgets.</li>
</ul>
To obfuscate a link, the only thing you have to do is to apply the class “ljoptimizer”, then the plugin will do its job using PHP and Javascript functions.

Link Juice Optimizer

Replace links with a clickable tag, add the nofollow attribute or remove the href attribute to optimize link juice.
