Interlink review
A free, open-source WordPress toolkit for audits, suggestions, orphan pages, and link rules.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Interlink is a free, open-source WordPress plugin for managing internal links across existing content. It is intended for WordPress users who want one toolkit for auditing links, finding orphaned posts, checking broken internal links, and identifying contextual linking opportunities. The plugin runs against the site's WordPress database and does not require external services by default, making it a focused option for site owners and content teams working inside WordPress.
Its strongest area is workflow breadth. Interlink can suggest relevant links, let users approve suggestions before one-click insertion, add links in bulk, and undo inserted links. Automatic link rules can apply links when posts are saved, with an optional silo mode for more structured linking. Anchor-text diversity reporting, weekly scheduled scans, and CSV export extend the product beyond basic link insertion. These features make it suitable for ongoing internal-link maintenance rather than only one-time cleanup.
The ecosystem fit is also broad for a free WordPress tool. Integrations include Rank Math, OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Google Search Console, while built-in features cover auditing, orphan-page detection, automatic linking, and bulk editing. Interlink is a strong choice for WordPress users who want a free, self-hosted workflow with both manual approval and automation. It is less suitable for teams seeking a non-WordPress platform or a tiered commercial product with separate paid plans.
