It is built for internal linking: pick a keyword, pick a destination, and every matching post links to it from then on. #### Key Features * **Unlimited keywords** – Add as many keyword groups as you need * **Multiple keywords per link** – Group several keywords pointing to the same URL * **Automatic plurals** – Singular and plural forms are matched automatically ( French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese) * **Never links a page to itself** – Self-referencing links are skipped, so your internal link graph stays clean * **Flexible targeting** – Apply to all content, to specific categories, or to selected post types * **Smart links** – Control the maximum number of links per post and the minimum distance between them * **Duplicate control** – Decide whether the same keyword can be linked more than once * **Link attributes** – Add rel= »nofollow », open in a new tab, and set your own CSS class * **Statistics** – Track how many links each keyword produces, counted in the background * **Import/Export** – Save and restore your keywords in JSON or CSV * **Global exclusion** – Select posts and pages to exclude entirely * **Per-keyword exclusion** – Exclude specific content for an individual keyword * **Preview** – See exactly which links would be added before you commit * **Whole words only** – Keywords never match inside a longer word * **Safe replacement** – DOM parsing keeps keywords out of HTML tags, headings and existing links #### Automatic Plural Handling Interlinko detects your site language (via WPML, Polylang or your WordPress settings) and applies the matching plural rules. For example: * Add the keyword « article » and Interlinko will also find « articles » * Add « category » and it will also find « categories » * Works with French, English, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese Nothing to configure: it is automatic. #### How It Works 1. Add a keyword group with one or more keywords 2. Set the destination URL for the group 3. Configure the options: maximum links, minimum distance, and so on 4. Matching keywords become links when the content is displayed #### Use Cases * **Internal linking** – Link important keywords to the relevant pages on your site * **Affiliate marketing** – Automatically link product names to affiliate URLs * **Glossary links** – Link technical terms to their definitions * **SEO optimization** – Strengthen your site’s internal link structure #### For Developers Interlinko exposes filters so you can adapt its behaviour: * `interlinko_enabled` – Disable the plugin for a given post * `interlinko_skip_tags` – Change the list of elements whose text is never linked * `interlinko_link_attributes` – Alter the attributes of every generated link * `interlinko_keyword_pattern` – Replace the matching pattern of a keyword * `interlinko_language` – Override the detected language * `interlinko_batch_size` – Tune how many posts each background scan batch processes #### Privacy This plugin collects no personal data. All keyword data is stored locally in your WordPress database. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/interlinko`, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen. 3. Go to ‘Interlinko’ in the admin menu to configure your keywords. ## FAQ ### Will this slow down my site? No. The content is parsed once per render and the result is cached. Link statistics are counted by a background job, never while a visitor is loading a page. ### How do plurals work? Interlinko handles plurals for you. When you add a keyword, the plugin detects your site language and matches both the singular and the plural form. Add « product » and it will also find « products ». This works for French, English, Spanish, German, Italian and Portuguese. ### Can I exclude certain posts or pages? Yes, in three ways: 1. **Global exclusion**: in the settings, select the content to exclude entirely 2. **Meta box**: on any edit screen, tick « Disable Interlinko on this content » 3. **Per keyword**: when creating or editing a keyword, select the content to exclude for that keyword only ### Does it work with page builders? Yes. The plugin works with any content that passes through the WordPress `the_content` filter. ### Can I link the same keyword to different URLs? Each keyword points to a single URL. If you need different destinations, use different keywords. ### Does it match partial words? No. Keywords are matched as whole words only, so « chat » will never match inside« purchase ». ### Does it replace keywords inside existing links? No. Existing links, headings, code blocks and form elements are left untouched. ### Will a page link to itself? No. When « Never link a page to itself » is enabled (the default), a keyword whose destination is the page being displayed is skipped. ### How do I import/export my keywords? Use the « Tools » tab on the Interlinko screen. You can export to JSON or CSV, and import those files on another site. ## Avis ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0e0f06af5dbbbd1cc376dfc93011ce53ddca0388d3cbd55529054eac910841e3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Pratique pour le maillage interne](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pratique-pour-le-maillage-interne/)󠁿 [fmsbn64](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fmsbn64/) 23 avril 2026 Très pratique pour centraliser son maillage interne.

Existing keywords and settings are migrated automatically on update. **Fixed** * Keywords no longer match inside longer words: « chat » no longer matched « purchase». Word boundaries are now Unicode-aware. * A page no longer links to itself. Self-referencing links are skipped by default, and the behaviour is configurable. * Editing or deleting a keyword now addresses it by identifier instead of by list position, so a stale admin screen can no longer modify the wrong keyword. * Keyword length is now measured in characters rather than bytes, so accented keywords sort correctly against unaccented ones. * Fixed a PHP 8.4 deprecation notice raised by CSV imports. * Fixed the loading spinner, which referenced a CSS class that did not exist. **Performance** * Link statistics are no longer written to the database on every page view. A busy site was issuing one database write per visit. * Statistics are now rebuilt by a background job in batches, replacing the unbounded query that loaded and parsed every published post at once. * The content is now parsed and walked once per render, instead of once per keyword group. * Plugin options are no longer autoloaded, so they are not read on every WordPress request. * Rendered content is cached in the object cache. **Added** * Filters for developers: `interlinko_enabled`, `interlinko_skip_tags`, `interlinko_link_attributes`,` interlinko_keyword_pattern`, `interlinko_language`, `interlinko_batch_size`. * A configurable CSS class on every generated link, so links can be styled and tracked. * A setting to control self-linking. **Changed** * The interface is now in English, with a French translation bundled. French users see no change. * The plugin is split into dedicated classes and templates instead of a single 2,300-line file. * Inline event handlers were removed from the admin screen, which now works under a strict Content-Security-Policy. * Every admin action verifies the user capability in addition to the nonce. * Links are no longer injected into REST API responses, so the block editor shows your content unmodified. * Uninstalling now cleans up every site of a multisite network. * Tested up to WordPress 7.0. Minimum requirements raised to WordPress 6.0 and PHP 7.4. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release * Unlimited keyword groups with multiple keywords per link * Automatic plural handling (French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese) * Automatic language detection (WPML/Polylang/WordPress) * Smart link control: max links per post, minimum distance between links * Duplicate link control * Link attributes: rel= »nofollow » and target= »_blank » * Import/Export of keywords (JSON and CSV) * Post exclusion via meta box and settings * Per-keyword exclusion for specific posts * Link preview before publishing * Statistics tracking * Modern card-based interface with tab navigation * External CSS and JavaScript assets * POT file for translations ## Méta * Version **2.0.0** * Last updated **il y a 1 mois** * Active installations **Moins de 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 ou plus ** * Tested up to **7.0.4** * PHP version ** 7.4 ou plus ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/interlinko/) * Tags * [automatic links](https://fr-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/automatic-links/)[interlinking](https://fr-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/interlinking/) [internal linking](https://fr-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/internal-linking/) [keywords](https://fr-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/keywords/)[seo](https://fr-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/seo/) * [Vue avancée](https://fr-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/interlinko/advanced/) ## Notes 5 out of 5 stars. * [ 3 5-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/interlinko/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/interlinko/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/interlinko/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/interlinko/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/interlinko/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/interlinko/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/interlinko/reviews/) ## Contributeurs * [ French Horizon ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/frenchhorizon/) ## Support Quelque chose à dire ?
