What it does

Internal links are the cheapest SEO win there is, and the easiest one to forget. Anchormender builds a small search index of your own content and uses it to suggest links at the moment you are writing, with the sentence that fits and an anchor phrase already picked.

Nothing leaves your server unless you turn on AI reranking with your own API key, and even then you see the token estimate first.

Features

  • Editor sidebar. Related posts for the draft you are writing, each with the best-matching sentence and a highlighted anchor. Insert adds the link in place using the editor's own link format.
  • Link from older posts. Find published posts that could link to the one you are editing and add the link there, with a revision, without leaving the editor.
  • Link report. Inbound and outbound internal link counts for every post, orphans and "fewer than 2 inbound" one click away, search, sort and CSV export.
  • Bulk linking. Generate proposals for a whole post type, review every one, apply with revisions, undo per post.
  • Existing-link audit. Links pointing at drafts, trashed or noindex posts, redirect chains and generic anchors like "click here".
  • Classic editor. The same suggestions in a meta box, and a WP-CLI command for reindexing.
