AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Linkable is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Linkable works
Show full descriptionShow less
Linkable is a lightweight WordPress plugin that automates internal linking by converting defined keywords into links to selected posts or pages.
Core functionality:
* Automatically links keywords to chosen posts or pages
* Works on singular posts and pages by filtering the_content at priority 20
* Searches for keyword matches inside <p>, <li>, <b>, <em>, and <i> tags
* Skips self-links by excluding the current post from the keyword map
* Uses the Yoast SEO title for link tooltips when Yoast is active, otherwise falls back to the WordPress title
* Preserves existing <a> tags and shortcodes by backing them up before processing and restoring them afterward
Keyword management:
* Keywords are stored per post and per page as JSON in the linkable_tags post meta field
* linkable_tags is registered with REST support, sanitized via sanitize_text_field, and restricted to users with edit_posts
Settings:
* Accessible via Settings → Linkable
* max_links_per_target: limits how many times the same target can be linked from one post (default 1)
* first_occurrence_only: when enabled, each keyword is linked only once per post
Performance:
* Builds a global keyword map from all published posts and pages with linkable_tags
* Caches the keyword map with a transient (global_linkable_tag_map) for one hour
* Query optimized to fetch only IDs and avoid unnecessary meta/term caching
Editor compatibility:
* Works with both the block editor and the classic editor
* Enqueues an admin sidebar panel script (static/js/admin-sidebar-panel.js) with WordPress dependencies and versioning via filemtime
Security:
* URLs are properly escaped with esc_url
* Link titles are sanitized and HTML-escaped
* Meta registration includes capability and sanitization checks
