Why??? rel=”noopener noreferrer”

  • Suddenly thousands and thousands of links in the site have been injected with :

    rel=”noopener noreferrer”

    What does this mean?

    Is this why all the “Title” tags are broken?

    Should they all be removed, and is there a way to globally remove them?

  • It is not sudden, unless you installed a plugin to do it.
    It is not all links, unless you have modified how WordPress works. It is only for links that target a blank window.
    It should not affect title links, since they do not open in a new window.
    This is a security measure, because it is possible for a script to follow the opener or referrer back to the original window and access data there, or do “evil script things”. When the rel attribute is added, that is not available to a script in the other window.

    Okay. I didn’t know.

    I didn’t do it. It “suddenly” happened when WordPress was installed.

    I hired a WordPress “Expert” on “UpWork” to install the new site, and import pages from the existing site.

    I have no clue about WordPress what so ever.

    I always hand coded until the “revolution” to CMS and Google’s “Mobile-getton”
