Junction External Links Controller for WordPress

Description

If you are highly concerned about SEO and Security then it is important to keep an eye on links. If no care is taken then your site rank will be equally shared with all the external links on your site. Plugin Junction takes care of all the external links on your site. It works quickly and seamlessly, like a ninja.

Links to cross-origin destinations are unsafe

Performance

When you open another page using target=”_blank”, the other page may run on the same process as your page, unless Site Isolation is enabled. If the other page is running a lot of JavaScript, your page’s performance may also suffer. Junction plugin allows forcing all outbound links on your site to be opened in a new tab and ensures it runs in a separate process. You don’t have to write target=”_blank” and rel=”noopener” manually.

Security

The other page can access your window object with the window.opener property. This exposes an attack surface because the other page can potentially redirect your page to a malicious URL. Seriously. You put external links to another site, and when your users click on it, they will be redirected to dark places.

It’s unbelievable to be true. See what Google says about this problem.

When you use target=”_blank”, always add rel=”noopener” or rel=”noreferrer”.

Google Tools for Web Developers

The Junction is an External Links Controller plugin for WordPress. The plugin will control that external links on your site open in a new tab, and also fix security risks related to this. It will process only external links. If any attributes (target, rel) are set for the link, the plugin will not change them. Thus, you always have complete control over your site and outbound links.

Don’t forget about SEO.

Outbound Links are still Matter For SEO in 2020

Top SEOs believe that external links are the most important source of ranking power.
Search engine ranking factor survey data has shown that getting external links is the single most important objective for attaining high rankings. This stems from the idea that external links are one of the hardest metrics to manipulate and thus, one of the best ways for search engines to determine the popularity of a given web page.

The two kinds of outbound links are: nofollow and dofollow. This is usually defined by simply putting rel=”nofollow” into the HTML of the link.
rel=”nofollow” tells search engines not to follow links and do not associate your site with the linked page.
rel=”dofollow” links pass on ranking power from your website to the targeted page. Be careful with this attribute, it is better to set this parameter manually individually for each link.

The Junction plugin allows controlling nofollow/dofollow on external links. You work with links as before. In your favorite editor: Elementor, Gutenberg or anything else. Set the links parameters according to your plan. And the Junction will make sure that you don’t miss anything and will insure with security. It will intervene only when finds a potential problem. Whether it’s a human error or a problem in a third-party plugin.
All external links are under control.
