Internalinks: Dynamic Interior Hyperlinks for WordPress (Utilities)

Overview

When you create a link in WordPress, it’s hardcoded, meaning that if you ever change the slug from for example,

you would have to go through each page or post in your site where you have added a link to that post and update it.

Another issue is if you ever change your domain: all your links are broken since WordPress hardcodes them.

With Internalinks, the links are generated dynamically by its ID (optionall by its slug but not by a static URL) meaning that once you add a link with Internalinks in your page, you won’t have to go back and change it if you ever change the post slug or change your domain or even move a site to a subdomain.

From a SEO perspective, internal links and the correct access to them are very important, so Internalinks even helps you keep your links up to date and have a better SEO score.
