<p>The “External Links Overview” plugin scans your WordPress posts and pages for outgoing <strong>external links</strong> and presents them in a <strong>searchable, filterable, and sortable table</strong>. It helps you optimize your outbound link profile and identify broken or potentially harmful links.</p>
<p>All plugin functions, options, and database entries use the prefix <code>seokelo_</code> to prevent conflicts with other plugins.</p>
