Relinka

Relinka is a WordPress plugin for mapping posts and finding internal-link issues, including broken and orphaned pages. Its dashboard shows inbound and outbound link counts, a link graph, keyword clusters, and an internal-link health score based on orphaned posts, missing outbound links, and broken links. Suggestions include a plain-English reason and anchor text taken word-for-word from the site's own content; the plugin suggests links only to pages that already exist. Users approve changes before they are applied, and each inserted link has a snapshot that can be reverted with one click. The free version runs on the site's server without sending site content, links, or analytics to Krafts or third parties, and requires no account or API key. Pro adds AI or semantic suggestions, bulk application, and automatic linking for new posts. Pro's AI options are opt-in and use third-party services; the maker says quality depends on the model and is not guaranteed. Relinka requires WordPress 6.4 or later and PHP 8.1 or later. The free plugin is open source; Pro is $59 a year for one site.

Relinka focuses on WordPress internal-link discovery and controlled changes, with a free on-site plugin and added automation in Pro. Check its version requirements and the stated limits around multisite testing and AI quality.

Relinka is aimed at bloggers, content teams, and small agencies focused on internal linking. It suits WordPress site owners who want to review suggested links and retain the ability to undo them.

Relinka is a self-hosted WordPress plugin for finding internal-link gaps and managing suggested fixes. It suits bloggers, content teams, and small agencies that want editorial control over link changes. The free plugin offers useful site analysis without sending content off-site, while bulk and automatic linking are reserved for Pro.

Overview

Relinka maps WordPress posts and surfaces inbound and outbound link counts, a link graph, keyword clusters, and a 0–100 internal-link health score. The score draws on orphaned posts, missing outbound links, and broken links, so it can help editors prioritize structural problems across a site rather than inspect pages one by one.

Suggestions include a plain-English reason and anchors taken word-for-word from the site's own text. Relinka says it links only to pages that already exist. Each proposed change needs approval, and an applied link can be restored from its before-and-after snapshot with one click. That review-first approach limits the risk of unwanted edits, though the free workflow depends on editorial attention.

Key features

Analysis and controlled changes

The combination of link counts, graph, keyword clusters, and health score gives site owners several ways to find weak connections and orphaned pages. Exact-text anchors and a reason for each suggestion make the recommendations easier to judge in context. Relinka supports Gutenberg and the Classic editor; posts built with Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, and Beaver are protected from card insertion.

Relinka complements Yoast, Rank Math, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, and All in One SEO. It is focused on internal linking, so those integrations matter most to publishers who already use one of those SEO plugins and want a separate tool for link structure.

Free processing and Pro AI

The free plugin runs on the site's server and does not send content, links, or analytics to Krafts or other third parties; it also requires no account or API key. Pro AI features use third-party services, are opt-in, and are clearly marked. The maker says their quality depends on the model and is not guaranteed, which makes AI suggestions harder to rely on without review.

Freemius handles optional Pro licensing, checkout, and updates. Opting in or buying Pro may share environment or licensing data, while post content is not sent through that licensing service.

Pricing

Free is the sensible starting point for a site whose editors can review and apply suggestions manually. Pro adds AI or semantic suggestions, bulk application across the site, automatic linking when new posts are published, and priority support. The stated annual price covers one site; publishers managing several sites need a different license, and introductory Pro pricing may change.

Platforms

Relinka is a self-hosted WordPress plugin. It requires WordPress 6.4 or later and PHP 8.1 or later, and the site says it was tested up to WordPress 7.0. The WordPress.org plugin is free and open source under GPLv2 or later. Single-site installs are supported; multisite has not yet been specifically tested, so network administrators should be cautious about relying on it there.

Who it's for

Relinka is best suited to bloggers, content teams, and small agencies that want to find internal-link gaps while keeping approval in the editorial workflow. Its free, on-server processing is a particular fit for publishers who do not want site content sent to an outside service for basic analysis. Teams that need new posts linked automatically or want to apply many changes at once will get more from Pro, while users seeking tested multisite support should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: The free plugin keeps content, links, and analytics on the site's server and needs no account or API key, reducing setup and data-sharing concerns for basic use.
• Pros: Suggestions explain their rationale, use anchors from existing copy, and wait for approval; snapshots make applied changes reversible.
• Pros: Link counts, graph, keyword clusters, and a score tied to orphaned, broken, and outbound-link issues help prioritize work.
• Cons: Bulk application, automatic linking, and AI or semantic suggestions require paid Pro, so the free plan is less suited to large sites with a backlog.
• Cons: Pro AI relies on third-party services, and its quality is not guaranteed by the maker.
• Cons: Multisite has not been specifically tested, and the listed WordPress and PHP minimums rule out older installations.

Alternatives

Choose LinkBoss if web-based linking and a free signup allowance are a better fit: its free plan includes 50 credits, one site, and no credit card requirement. Core+ Links is another self-hosted free option, with deterministic block-editor suggestions and review-first auto-linking. Interlink may suit sites that need a free WordPress plugin with lower stated minimums of WordPress 5.5 and PHP 7.4, or a web platform.

InterLinks offers a free demo with one link and supports blog, page, product, and collection linking. Internal Link Juicer is worth considering for a one-site free version with posts and pages plus keyword-file import and export. Link Whisper offers a free WordPress version for manually inserting outbound-link suggestions.

Linkagent is an option for readers comparing API, self-hosted, and web platforms, with a self-hosted AGPL-3.0 plan described as ungated and requiring their own infrastructure. Linkbot may fit readers who want web-based reporting and diagnostics for one website property, with up to 1,000 URLs on its free Starter plan. Browse more options in Internal Linking Tools.

Verdict

Relinka is a strong fit for WordPress publishers who want to locate orphaned or broken-link issues, assess reasoned suggestions, and keep basic processing on their own server. Its clearest advantage is controlled, reversible editing at no cost. Look elsewhere if you need proven multisite support or expect bulk and automatic linking without moving to Pro.
