Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
External Links Modifier is a lightweight WordPress plugin that automatically modifies external links in your post content so that they open in a new tab and include the attributes rel="nofollow noreferrer". The plugin also provides a simple meta box in the post editor where you can toggle the functionality on or off for individual posts.
This plugin is ideal for bloggers who want to ensure that outbound links are handled consistently, improve user experience, and follow SEO best practices.
