ACS Internal Links
v1.0.6 · by ACS
Visualize your internal link structure as an interactive map in the WordPress admin. Find orphaned posts and improve your site's SEO.
About this plugin
ACS Internal Links lets you visually understand the internal link structure of your WordPress site, right from the admin dashboard.
Main Features
Visual Link Map
* Renders a network graph with D3.js, where posts are nodes and internal links are edges
* Node size is proportional to the number of inbound links; nodes are colored by category
* Supports drag-and-drop repositioning and zoom in/out
* Click a node to jump directly to the post edit screen
* Filter by category and post status
* Orphaned posts (no inbound links) are highlighted with a red dashed outline
Orphaned Post Detection
* Lists posts that are not linked from anywhere
* Lists posts that do not link to anything
* Sortable by category and publish date
Link Count Columns in the Post List
* Adds “Outbound” and “Inbound” link count columns to the post list
* Sortable via the column headers
Post Editor Sidebar
* Shows an “Internal Links” meta box in the sidebar of the post edit screen
* Lists links from this post and links to this post
Dashboard Widget
* Shows a summary including total posts, total internal links, and orphaned post count
* Shows the top 3 most linked posts
Zero Front-End Impact
All features run only in the admin area. The plugin has no impact on your site’s front-end page speed.
Interface Language
The admin interface is in English, with a bundled Japanese translation. The plugin follows the language of your WordPress installation: if your site (or your own user profile) is set to Japanese, every menu label, button, column header, and notice is shown in Japanese; otherwise the interface is in English. A translation template (languages/acs-internal-links.pot) is included, so the plugin can be translated into other languages as well.
