Do I need to install a WordPress plugin to use WP Linker?

No plugin is required. WP Linker works entirely via the WordPress REST API using an application password. Setup takes about 30 seconds.

Is my WordPress data safe with WP Linker?

Yes. WP Linker only reads your published posts to analyze link structure. Content is never modified without your explicit approval. All data is encrypted in transit.

What does the free plan include?

The free plan includes full internal link analysis, orphan post detection, and link coverage scoring for up to 30 posts on 1 site, with 1 analysis per week. No credit card required — free forever.

How long does a WordPress link analysis take?

Most sites with fewer than 500 posts are fully analyzed in under 2 minutes. Larger sites may take a few minutes more.

Which WordPress versions does WP Linker support?

WP Linker supports WordPress 5.0 and above. Any site with the REST API enabled — which is the default — is compatible.

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Yes. No long-term contracts. Cancel at any time and retain access until the end of your billing period.
