Find orphan and underlinked content before it quietly dies.
AP Link Audit scans your published posts and pages, counts inbound internal links, and gives you a simple priority list of what to fix first.
Designed to be simple for non-technical site owners: one overview, a priority list, and direct “Edit” links into the WordPress editor.
What AP Link Audit does
This plugin focuses on one job: showing you which posts and pages are getting no internal links, or not enough. It runs a scan over your published content and builds a report you can actually act on.
Orphan detection
Find content with zero inbound internal links so you can either link to it or decide to retire it.
Underlinked mapping
Highlight posts with only 1–2 internal links, which are often easy wins for better structure.
Priority list
See a ranked list (issue, title, type, inbound count, date, edit link) so you always know what to fix next.
Free vs Pro
Free gets you started. Pro is for bigger sites and ongoing clean-up.
Free
- Manual site-wide audit
- Overview totals (scanned, orphan, low inbound)
- Priority list (top slice)
- CSV export (limited rows)
- Works with posts and pages out of the box
Pro
- Unlimited priority list rows
- Unlimited CSV export rows
- Advanced exclusions by post type and category
- More room for larger content libraries
- Priority support
- Planned upgrades: basic clustering and smarter “suggested links to strengthen” views
How it fits with AP Internal Linking Helper
AP Link Audit tells you which content needs help. AP Internal Linking Helper helps you actually add more links while you write. Together they give you a simple loop:
- Run an audit → see orphan and underlinked posts.
- Open those posts in the editor → use AP Internal Linking Helper to add links out.
- Re-run the audit later to see your progress.
If you already use the free Internal Linking Helper, Link Audit Pro is a natural next step once your site has enough content that you can’t keep it all in your head.
FAQ
Does AP Link Audit change anything on the front end?
No. It runs as a tool in the admin area and only reads your existing posts and pages.
Is there a Pro-only feature in the free plugin code?
No. The WordPress.org version is fully functional as a free audit tool, with a sensible limit on how many rows you see and export. Pro is delivered as a separate plugin after purchase.
How do I get Pro after purchase?
After checkout, Stripe will email you a receipt containing a direct download link for the AP Link Audit Pro ZIP and simple installation steps.
Who it’s for
AP Link Audit is for small teams and solo site owners who know internal links matter, but don’t want another overcomplicated SEO suite. It’s built to be something you can run once a week, make a few fixes, and move on with your day.
