SibLinks Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
SibLinks reads a page and suggests where it should link to other pages of the same site: the exact sentence, the words to link, and the page to link to, with a short reason. You add the link with one click in the block editor, the classic editor or Elementor, or mark it on the published page with any page builder.
The plugin interface is in English and can be translated on translate.wordpress.org. Link suggestions are built for Hebrew content: on sites in other languages they are fewer and less precise.
What you get
- Suggestions for one page, or for many pages at once from the links dashboard.
- “Pages that could link here”: for a page you want to strengthen, the existing pages that should link to it, and the sentence in each.
- A links dashboard: pages no other page links to, pages that were never checked, and links added recently.
- Link health (free, runs on your site and needs no account): broken internal links, links through a redirect, links to unpublished pages, and pages without outgoing internal links.
- Search Console data without connecting a Google account: upload the Performance export, and pages that Google already shows in positions 4 to 20 are suggested first as link targets.
Requires a SibLinks account
Link suggestions are computed by the SibLinks service (see “External services” below). You need a SibLinks account, a Site ID and a Secret from the customer area at https://app.siblinks.co.il. Each check of a page uses one check from your account balance. New accounts get free trial checks. Link health and the Search Console data work without an account.
External services
This plugin connects to the SibLinks service (https://api.siblinks.co.il), which computes the link suggestions. It is operated by SibLinks (https://www.siblinks.co.il). Nothing is sent before the site owner enters a Site ID and a Secret in SibLinks > Settings.
What is sent, and when:
- When a user checks a page (one page, or many pages from the dashboard): the content of the page as a logged-out visitor would see it (this includes drafts, pending and scheduled pages when the user checks them), and a short summary of each candidate target page on the same site (address, title, main heading, section headings, description, focus keyword, first paragraphs).
- When an editor searches for “pages that could link here”: the summary of that page and of other pages, then the content (as visitors see it) of up to 20 published pages the service picked.
- While a check runs: requests for its status. While SibLinks screens are open, and every few minutes in the background when checks are waiting: a request for the account balance.
- When the site owner clicks “Test connection”: a request to check that the service answers.
- Every request carries the site’s Site ID and a signature made with its Secret. The Secret itself is never sent.
- Every request also carries the site’s domain name (for example example.com), so the service can make sure the Site ID is used only on this site.
The service processes the content to compute suggestions and does not store it. The service may use third-party processing providers, as described in its privacy policy.

The plugin does not connect to Google. The Search Console file you upload is read on your site and not kept; only the numbers per page (clicks, impressions, CTR, average position) are kept in your site’s database, and they are never sent to the SibLinks service or anywhere else.
Link health requests only your own site’s pages (to see which links are broken or redirect), from your server, and sends nothing to the SibLinks service.
Privacy
Page summaries are built on your site and kept in its own post meta (_siblinks_profile_v1). Link check results are kept in post meta (_siblinks_link_check_v1). Uninstalling the plugin removes its tables, options and post meta.
Security
- Requests are signed (HMAC-SHA256 with a timestamp and a one-time value); answers are signed and checked, and an unsigned answer is refused.
- The server address must use HTTPS.
- Every action checks the user’s permissions and a security token.
