Plugin Description
Love your visitors. Love Accessibility.
It is highly recommended that if a link is external (leaving your website) you warn users a new window will be opened.
This WordPress plugin will evaluate each page of your website and produce a page-by-page report of where you have external links.
Additionally, it has an option to activate an external link alert on each of the found links in the form of an icon and the hidden text “Opens in a new window” – which will be read by a screen reader.
