Quilio Internal Links – Internal Linking & Orphan Pages

Description

Find the pages nobody links to, and link to them in one click.

Search engines and visitors find your pages by following links. A post that no other page links to (an orphan page) is easy to miss, however good it is. Quilio Internal Links maps the links between your posts and pages, shows which ones are orphans, dead ends or buried too deep, and finds sentences in your other posts that can link to them.

Why Quilio Internal Links

• The free version does the job. Orphan pages, link suggestions and one-click linking are free, with no limits on pages or links.
• Runs locally. Suggestions are computed on your own server from your content. No sign-up, no external service, no AI tokens to pay for.
• Links are real. A link is written into the post, exactly where you choose, and WordPress keeps a revision. Nothing is added to your pages on the fly, so the site stays as fast as before and the links stay if you remove the plugin.
• Careful with your content. Links are never put into headings, existing links, code, buttons or page-builder layouts, and only the words you approve change.
• Quiet. No dashboard ads, no nagging banners.

Features

• Link map of all posts, pages and public custom post types: links in, links out, external links, words.
• Orphan pages (no other page links to them), pages with a single link, dead ends (they link nowhere) and pages more than 3 clicks from the home page or not reachable at all.
• Link suggestions both ways: “Link to this page” finds sentences in related posts; “Links from this page” finds words that can link to related pages.
• Add link in one click, with Undo. Every change is saved as a revision.
• Link phrases for each page. The focus keyphrases of Yoast SEO, Rank Math and SEOPress, and Internal Link Juicer keywords, are used automatically.
• Link problems: links to drafts and deleted pages, links to an old address of a moved page, pages linking to themselves, nofollow on your own links, “click here” texts and links without text. Fix most of them in one click.
• Link texts used for several different pages.
• Internal links panel in the block editor: suggestions for the text you are writing, added to the paragraph in one click, and a warning before you publish a post nobody links to.
• Counts links in content only, or in menus too (classic menus and block theme navigation).
• Leave pages out (thank-you, legal pages) and ignore words used everywhere on your site.
• Editors can be allowed to use it; settings stay with administrators.
• Site Health test and WP-CLI commands: wp quilio-il scan, status, pages and suggest.
• Works in English, Russian, Ukrainian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Polish and Turkish content.
• Multisite: each site has its own data.

Privacy

Quilio Internal Links does not send your content anywhere and makes no requests to other sites. It stores the links and main words of your published posts in its own database tables.

Quilio Internal Links Pro

Everything above is free and stays free. The optional Pro version adds:

• Auto-link rules: “phrase → page”, applied to all posts (with a preview) or to new posts when they are published. Written into the posts with revisions, a few links per post at most.
• Link to an orphan page from its 3 best matching posts in one click, and add all suggested links at once.
• Scheduled scans (daily or weekly) and an e-mail when new orphan pages appear.
• Link score of every page (how much internal link weight it receives) and CSV export.

Pro comes with a 7-day money-back guarantee.

External services

The free version makes no requests to other sites.
