This plugin is a minimalist backlink tracker. It keeps track of all internal links between posts using taxonomies.
The plugin maintains a taxonomy of which posts links to which. The taxonomy is mostly invisible, but available through REST.
The backlink taxonomy is updated automatically whenever a post is published, scheduled or later updated. By registering the outgoing links of all posts it is easy to find the incoming links for any one post.
<h3>User Interface</h3>
The plugin most works behind the scenes, scanning posts for internal links whenever the posts are updated.
The backlink taxonomy is available for the Query Loop block, which can be used to create a dynamic “What links here” block.
The backlink_count taxonomy can be used to filter the displayed posts on the posts lists of the admin interface. This is a handy way of finding posts with no or few incoming links.
The admin posts list has a “Suggest Backlinks” added for each row, which will find posts with shared tags and categories, that are not already linked from the post. If there are shared public custom taxonomies, they will be used too.
The admin posts list also has a ‘Backlinks’ column available, showing the number of backlinks for the post. Clicking on the column will show a list of the backlinks. The column is sortable. The column also shows the number of outgoing links, also clickable.
A management page under the Tools menu can show the backlinks status of all posts, with columns for incoming and outgoing links, and commands for rescanning or ‘un-scanning’ posts.
The settings pages is rather basic, but allows the setting of post types to operate on (default posts and pages), and post statuses to select on (default published and scheduled).
Un-scanned posts, for example just after activation of the plugin or after a change of settings, are scanned in the background at bit at a time. During normal usage there should never be a backlog of un-scanned posts.
The Backlinks Taxonomy plugin works with custom post types, and will use available custom taxonomies for backlink suggestions.
<h3>WP-CLI interface</h3>
The plugin adds a WP-CLI command ‘backlinks’ with several sub-commands.
There are commands to:
<ul>
<li>Show all outgoing and incoming links for a single post;</li>
<li>Show backlink suggestions for a single post;</li>
<li>Show the overall status of the backlink counters;</li>
<li>Rescan individual posts for links;</li>
<li>List all un-scanned posts.</li>
</ul>

Google Search Console tells you which keywords bring visitors to your site — but that data lives in Google’s dashboard, separate from the pages you edit in WordPress.
SEO Booster closes that gap. Connect Search Console once, import your keyword data, and see real search performance on every post, page, and taxonomy you edit. Turn GSC insights into actionable SEO tasks, automate internal linking across your site, and optionally use AI — powered by WordPress Connectors — to speed up content and image optimization.
Works alongside Yoast SEO, All in One SEO, and similar plugins — SEO Booster complements them with GSC-driven keyword intelligence, internal linking, and on-page analysis they typically do not provide.
Requires WordPress 6.8 or later.
<h4>AI with WordPress Connectors (optional)</h4>
Optional AI features use the WordPress Connectors system built into WordPress 7.0 or later. Set up your AI provider under Settings → Connectors in WordPress, then choose WordPress Connectors under SEO Booster → Settings → AI/LLM. GSC import, automatic links, and SEO analysis work fully without AI — leave it disabled if you prefer.

<h3>Automatic Links</h3>
Automatically turn keywords in your content into internal links. Every time you write “contact us”, it can link to your contact page — no manual linking required.
Works with WooCommerce products and major page builders. See the <a href="https://seoboosterpro.com/docs/automatic-links/supported-page-builders/" rel="nofollow ugc">supported page builders list</a> for details.
<h3>Image metadata batch tool</h3>
Find and fix missing image metadata across your Media Library without opening each attachment one by one. Go to SEO Booster → Tools → Image metadata.
<ul>
<li>Scan JPEG, PNG, and WebP attachments for missing title, alt text, caption, or description; preview matches before you act</li>
<li>Generate with AI by analyzing the actual image file — choose which fields to apply; only checked fields are saved</li>
<li>Process in batches — selected images or every match in your library, with live preview while processing</li>
<li>Fail-safe — if the AI cannot verify an image, nothing is saved; the tool prefers empty fields over wrong alt text</li>
<li>Works without AI — run scans and review gaps even when AI processing is not configured</li>
<li>Requires vision-capable AI for generation via WordPress 7 Connectors; text-only connectors cannot analyze images</li>
</ul>
