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 WP-HideRefer version 1.12 as active, updated 7y ago and tested up to WordPress 5.1.

Overview

About this plugin

When your readers follow links from your blog, the linked site can see where they come from. Thus; your blog is known by every site you’ve ever linked to.

WP-HideRefer adds proxies to your outgoing links, keeping your site private!

There are many plugins to anonymize links. What makes WP-HideRefer better is:

  • it’s 100% WordPress API compliant
  • it’s entirely server-side (= cacheable & no JavaScript!)
  • therefore; supports infinite-scroll (AJAX / streaming)
  • it correctly filters your feeds and comments
  • it can handle your manually anonymized links!
