OrdoLink – Smart Internal Link Suggestions & Health Audit
OrdoLink is the fast, performance-first internal link builder built for WordPress. It analyzes your published posts and surfaces high-value internal linking opportunities directly inside the Gutenberg block editor-without slowing down your database.
Unlike traditional internal link plugins that run heavy database queries on your server and cause CPU spikes, OrdoLink handles language processing off-site via a dedicated high-performance engine. You get instant, semantic link suggestions with zero site bloat.
Key features:
- Zero Database Bloat – Heavy NLP processing and indexing happen off-site. Your WordPress database stays fast, clean, and responsive.
- Smart Semantic Suggestions – Discovers related posts based on true context and meaning, not just exact keyword matches or tags.
- Native Gutenberg Sidebar – Link suggestions appear naturally in the block editor as you write, allowing one-click insertions with no context switching.
- Bulk Review Table – Quickly review, insert, or dismiss link suggestions across your entire post library from a unified admin panel.
- Most Referenced Posts – See at a glance which posts across your site attract the most internal links, so you know what’s already resonating.
- Link Health Audit – Scans your published posts to catch broken or redirecting outbound links before they hurt your SEO.
- Zero Manual Setup – Registers automatically upon activation. No API keys to copy-paste or complex settings to configure.
Architecture & Performance
OrdoLink processes language analysis and vector matching on an off-site server rather than executing heavy operations inside your WordPress MySQL database.
By offloading natural language processing to dedicated external infrastructure, OrdoLink delivers contextual link suggestions while keeping your WordPress admin light and responsive, regardless of your site’s content library size.
A free plan covers up to 100 posts with no credit card required. Starter, Publisher, and Agency plans are available for larger sites and networks. Your current usage is shown under OrdoLink → Settings, where you can upgrade at any time.
External Services
OrdoLink sends data to the OrdoLink service (ordolink.net) in the following situations:
- On activation: your site’s URL is sent to provision an API key and site record.
- When analysing posts: each post’s ID, title, URL, and plain-text content are sent for semantic indexing.
- When checking for broken links: URLs found in your published posts are sent for link-health analysis.
- When upgrading your plan: clicking upgrade redirects your browser to Polar.sh to complete payment. Polar processes your billing details directly – OrdoLink never sees your payment information.
No raw HTML, user accounts, or personal visitor data are transmitted. Post data leaves your server only when you explicitly trigger an analysis.
