Better Links is a fast and easy way to create and manage links from within your WordPress dashboard. To make it easy we let you create links from within a dedicated link manager and even create and insert links right from within your WordPress post editor.
Sure, seeing your links are being clicked is neat but wouldn’t it be more useful to see where your links are being clicked (and where they aren’t?)

In WordPress 3.5, the Link Manager (which some use to build blogrolls) will 
be disabled by default. If you have links when you update, it’ll still be there. 
But you can use this plugin to ensure it will always be there, even if you 
update to a later version of WordPress or remove all of your current links.

Link Manager

Works on WP 6.1

Enables the Link Manager that existed in WordPress until version 3.5.
