Leaving Notice Popup For External Links – nofollow, noopener & New Tab vs Popup Maker – Boost Sales, Conversions, Optins, Subscribers with the Ultimate WP Popup Builder

Leaving Notice Popup for External Links is a lightweight WordPress plugin that displays a customizable exit popup (also known as a leaving notice, exit confirmation dialog, or outbound link warning) whenever a visitor clicks an external link, giving them a moment to continue or stay on your site. Beyond the leaving notice, the plugin lets you fully manage your outbound links: automatically apply rel attributes like nofollow, noopener, noreferrer, sponsored, ugc, and external; display SVG icons next to external links; choose whether the Continue button opens links in a new tab or the same tab; and whitelist trusted domains so they bypass the popup entirely. It is an essential tool for affiliate marketers, government sites, educational portals, and any site that needs an exit popup, exit intent modal, outbound link interstitial, or legal disclaimer before visitors leave for third-party content. Why use this plugin? * Exit Popup / Leaving Notice: Show a fully customizable exit confirmation modal (exit popup, exit intent dialog, or outbound link warning) whenever a visitor clicks an outbound link, protecting your traffic and reducing unintended exits. * nofollow, noopener & More: Automatically add rel="nofollow", rel="noopener", rel="noreferrer", rel="sponsored", rel="ugc", or rel="external" attributes to external links for better SEO control and security. * Open in New Tab Control: Choose whether the Continue button opens external links in a new tab or the same tab. * External Link Icons: Display one of 5 built-in SVG icons next to outbound links, with left/right positioning and an option to skip icons on linked images. * Smart Domain & URL Whitelist: Exclude trusted affiliate partners or sister sites by domain, exact URL, or wildcard pattern (e.g. https://www.facebook.com/sharer/*); they will open without triggering the popup. * CSS Class Exclusion: Skip the popup and rel attribute processing entirely for links that carry specific CSS classes. * Advanced Page Filtering: Restrict the leaving notice to specific Page IDs, or enable it conditionally on archives, categories, and the home page using built-in filters. Key Features Customizable Popup: Change the title, message, and button text to match your brand Button Color Control: Choose custom colors for both the “Continue” and “Stay” buttons rel Attributes: Add nofollow, noopener, noreferrer, sponsored, ugc, or external to outbound links New Tab Toggle: Control whether Continue opens the external link in a new tab or same tab SVG Link Icons: Show one of 5 icons beside external links, positioned left or right Domain Whitelist: Exclude specific domains from triggering the notice URL Whitelist with Wildcard Support: Exclude specific URLs or wildcard patterns (e.g. https://example.com/share/*) from triggering the notice CSS Class Exclusion: Skip links that carry a specified CSS class Page-Level Filtering: Show the popup only on chosen pages, posts, archives, or categories Widget Support: rel attribute processing also applies to widget text areas Responsive Design: Works perfectly on all devices and screen sizes Accessible: Built with accessibility best practices Lightweight: Minimal impact on page load time with deferred script loading Easy Setup: No coding required, just activate and configure Use Cases Show an exit popup or exit confirmation dialog when visitors click outbound links Add nofollow to external links to protect SEO link equity Add noopener and noreferrer to external links for security Mark affiliate links with rel=”sponsored” per Google’s guidelines Display an external link icon to signal outbound navigation Provide a legal disclaimer before visitors leave for third-party sites Whitelist trusted domains so affiliate partners open without interruption Meet legal or compliance requirements for certain jurisdictions Privacy This plugin does not collect or store any personal data from your visitors.
