<p>Radar LinkHawk is a WordPress plugin that indexes outbound links across published posts and pages.</p>
<p>The plugin scans your content, stores each external link usage as its own record, and shows where every URL appears. This helps you review broken destinations, redirects, and link attributes without opening posts one by one.</p>
<p>With Radar LinkHawk you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>scan all published posts and pages for outbound links;</li>
<li>review every usage row with URL, post, anchor text, HTTP status, redirect state, and nofollow data;</li>
<li>group repeated destinations in the URL Summary tab to see total usages and post counts;</li>
<li>filter broken, redirected, and nofollow links;</li>
<li>preview and apply bulk actions only to the exact rows you selected;</li>
<li>add nofollow, remove nofollow, replace URLs, or remove broken links while keeping anchor text as plain text;</li>
<li>export the current URL Summary or Usage view as CSV;</li>
<li>compare internal versus external link distribution in the Link Balance tab;</li>
<li>run weekly background status checks for saved external URLs.</li>
</ul>
<p>Radar LinkHawk keeps editing tools and HTTP checks focused on external links. Internal links are tracked for analysis only, so you can compare content structure without turning the plugin into a full internal-link editor.</p>
<p>Radar LinkHawk does not require a cloud account. When you run a manual scan or enable weekly checks, the plugin sends standard WordPress HTTP requests directly to URLs that already exist in your content so it can store response codes and redirect outcomes.</p>

<p>The external links plugin for WordPress lets you process outgoing links differently from internal links.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>Under Settings / External Links, you can configure the plugin to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Process all outgoing links, rather than only those within your entries’ content and text widgets.</li>
<li>Add an external link icon to outgoing links. You can use a class=”no_icon” attribute on links to override this.</li>
<li>Add rel=nofollow to the links. (Note: You can use a rel=”follow” attribute on links to override this.)</li>
<li>Open outgoing links in new windows. Note that this can damage your visitor’s trust towards your site in that they can think your site used a pop-under.</li>
<li>Turn on “autolinks” functionality.</li>
<li>Domains/subdomains you wish to Exclude from processing.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Auto Links</h4>
<p>The Autolink functionality automatically converts urls to hyperlinked urls in post/page content, excerpts and text widgets.</p>
