Your best pages are invisible if nothing links to them. CRAI LinkSense reads your whole site, finds every place one page mentions something another page covers, and turns those mentions into internal links \u2014 using wording you already wrote, one approval at a time.<\/p>\n\n
Nothing changes until you press \"Add link.\"<\/strong> That is the rule the whole plugin is built on. It never edits a post behind your back, never rewrites a sentence, never adds a link you have not seen first. Every suggestion shows you the exact sentence, the exact words that become clickable, and where the link goes \u2014 before anything happens.<\/p>\n\n On a standard WordPress site, links are written directly into your content. Deactivate this plugin, delete it, switch to something else \u2014 every link you approved stays exactly where you put it.<\/strong> They are ordinary links in your own posts, not a rented feature.<\/p>\n\n On page-builder sites (Elementor, Divi, Bricks, Beaver Builder and friends), writing into the builder's data risks your layout \u2014 so there the plugin adds links safely as each page loads instead, and tells you plainly that it is doing so. The settings screen states which mode your site uses and why. No surprises in either direction.<\/p>\n\n The quality bar is not negotiable. Suggested wording must read as a real phrase \u2014 no half-sentences, no \"click here\", no wording that describes the wrong page. The plugin rejects its own suggestions rather than show you a bad one, and it tells you the honest reason when a page yields nothing.<\/p>\n\n Your content is analysed on your own server. Nothing is sent to a third party, there is no account to create, no API key to buy, and no page limit. The only outbound requests the free plugin ever makes are the ones you would expect from a link checker: confirming that the links in your own posts still work.<\/p>\n\n The free plugin finds links where your existing wording already fits. Pro writes the wording<\/strong> \u2014 an AI drafts the sentence or rewrites yours so the right link fits naturally, with every figure and name preserved, checked against the destination page before you ever see it. Pro also maps your site structure into topic groups and suggests the links that bind each group together. The free plugin is complete on its own; Pro is for sites that publish often enough to want the writing done too.<\/p>\n\n There are two storage modes. The default never touches your content; the other\nis opt-in and exists because some site owners want links that survive the\nplugin being removed.<\/p>\n\n Safe mode (the default)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Links are added as the page is rendered, using a WordPress filter. Your posts in\nthe database are not modified at all. Removing a link, or the whole plugin, puts\neverything back exactly as it was, because nothing was ever changed.<\/p>\n\n Permanent mode (off unless you turn it on)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Links are written into the post content itself, so they remain after the plugin\nis deactivated or deleted. This is a real modification of your content, so:<\/p>\n\n The setting is in Settings, described there in the same terms, and it defaults to\nsafe mode on a new install.<\/p>\n\n This plugin does not use any third party service, API or remote server. Nothing\nis sent to the plugin author or to anyone else, no account is required, and no\ndata about you, your site or your visitors is collected or transmitted.<\/p>\n\n The plugin does make outbound web requests in one situation, described in full\nbelow so there is no ambiguity.<\/p>\n\n Checking whether your links still work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n To tell you which links on your site are broken, the plugin has to try them. It\nrequests the web addresses that your own content links to. Where you have linked\nto another website, that request goes to that website, exactly as it would if a\nvisitor clicked the link.<\/p>\n\n Because the addresses requested are the ones you linked to yourself, there is no\nsingle provider to name here, and therefore no terms of use or privacy policy\nfor this plugin to link to. Any website you link to has its own terms, exactly as\nit does for any visitor who follows that link.<\/p>\n\n All other work, including reading your pages, matching them and suggesting links,\nhappens entirely on your own server.<\/p>\n\n\n On a standard WordPress site, yes \u2014 links are written into your post content, so they remain if the plugin is deactivated or deleted. On page-builder sites the plugin adds links as pages load instead (writing into a builder's data risks your layout), so those links need the plugin active. The settings screen tells you which mode your site uses and why.<\/p><\/dd>\n Never. Every link is a suggestion until you approve it, and each suggestion shows the exact sentence and the exact words that become clickable before anything is added. Removing a link puts your original sentence back.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Analysis runs on your own server. The free plugin's only outbound requests are link checks \u2014 confirming the links already in your posts still resolve.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The plugin detects builder sites and adds links as pages render rather than editing builder data, which protects your layout. This is chosen automatically on install and stated in the settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n From your own writing. The free plugin only ever links words that already exist in your sentences, and it applies the same quality rules to every suggestion: the wording must read as a real phrase and must describe the page it points to, or it is not offered.<\/p><\/dd>\n Analysis runs in the background in small batches. On the front of your site, stored links are plain HTML in your content; rendered links (builder mode) are added by a lightweight filter at display time.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n New<\/p>\n\n Fixed<\/p>\n\n Fixes<\/p>\n\n Improvements<\/p>\n\n Security<\/p>\n\nYour links are yours<\/h4>\n\n
