External Links Modifier

Description

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.
