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. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Hirca Keywords Linker version 1.0.1 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Hirca Keywords Linker helps you build a stronger linking structure without editing every post by hand.
Define keyword phrases and destination URLs once. The plugin finds the first matching phrase in your content and inserts a clean link automatically — while carefully avoiding broken markup, existing links, and self-links.
Ideal for blogs, content sites, documentation hubs, and any WordPress site that wants better topical connection between related pages.
Key features
Add up to five keyword phrases per destination URL
Link only the first occurrence of each phrase in a post
Prefer longer phrases over shorter ones (better match quality)
Enable linking for posts, pages, and public custom post types
Limit linking to all categories or only selected categories
Optional limits: max links per post (default 4), skip headings, skip first paragraph
Case-sensitive matching and open-in-new-tab options
Fast admin workflow with search and pagination
Import / Export keywords as a simple UTF-8.txt file (merge or replace)
Translation-ready (includes Persian / fa_IR )
Clean uninstall that removes plugin options
Smart linking safeguards
Hirca Keywords Linker is designed to protect your content quality:
Never links inside existing <a> tags
Protects script, style, code, pre, iframe, and similar blocks
Does not match keywords inside raw URLs or HTML tags
Never creates a self-link to the current page
Only one phrase is linked per destination URL in the same post
Longer phrases take priority over shorter ones
Who is this for?
SEO specialists managing large content libraries
Site owners who want consistent interlinking without page builders
Agencies that need a lightweight, no-bloat keyword linking tool
Multilingual sites that need a translation-ready workflow
How it works
Go to Settings → Hirca Keywords Linker
Add a destination URL and one or more keyword phrases
Choose which post types should be processed
Publish or update content as usual — links are applied on the front end
No shortcodes required. No content rewrite is stored in the database until you edit the post yourself; links are generated when the content is displayed.
