Linkweave reads your posts on your own server, suggests the links worth adding while you write, and shows you the pages nothing links to. The free version works on every site you own.

The problem
Internal links are how readers and search engines find their way around your site. WordPress gives you no view of them at all, so the gaps pile up quietly.
A post with no internal links pointing at it is hard for anyone to reach. Nothing in WordPress tells you which posts those are.
Every new post means digging through old ones for places to link. It's fine at 20 posts. By 200, most people quietly stop doing it.
Credit allowances look cheap at first. Then you catch yourself deciding whether a link on your own site is worth a credit.
How it works
Plugins › Add New › Upload. It updates itself from your dashboard after that, like any other plugin.
The first index starts by itself when you activate, and runs in the background, about 3 seconds per 1,000 posts in our tests. The orphan and broken-link reports fill in as it goes.
Open any post. Related posts show up in the sidebar, ranked, with the matching words shown. Click one to insert the link. You approve every link yourself.

What's inside
Real screens, not mockups. Pick a tab.
The sidebar ranks your other posts by how closely they match the one you are writing, and shows the words they share so you can see why.

Suggested links in the editor: your other posts on the same topic, the words they share, and one-click insertion.
Map a phrase to a URL once and it links across the site. Unlimited rules, free.

Auto-link rules: pick a phrase and the page it links to, with limits per post and per site.
The orphan report lists published posts with zero internal links pointing at them. Those are the ones readers and crawlers never reach.

Posts nothing links to, each with a button to find the posts that should link there.
A map of every post, grouped by topic and coloured by how many of your posts link to it, plus a "posts that should link here" list for any page you want to push.

Inbound links: every post as a square, grouped by topic and coloured by how many posts link to it.
A daily scan checks the links in your posts and lists every one that fails, with the post it sits in and its anchor text.

Broken links: links that lead to a missing page, where they are, and a one-click fix.
First-party click counts for the links you placed, so you can see which ones do any work.

Link clicks: which internal links visitors actually follow, counted on your own server.

Who it's for
One site, a few hundred posts
You know there are old posts nobody reaches. The free version finds them and suggests links as you write. Plenty of people never need more.
Free, or Solo (3 sites) at $29 $21.75/yr
A handful of affiliate or content sites
Your money pages need links from the posts that rank. Inbound bulk-apply, Search Console targeting and click analytics are built for that.
Studio, 10 sites at $49 $36.75/yr
Client sites you look after
Run the orphan and broken-link reports on a new client on day one. Client sites are fine on every licence, and nothing is metered per site.
Agency, unlimited sites at $99 $74.25/yr

Who's behind it
Suresh K Meena
Builds JnK Plugins
I started Linkweave because I didn't want to pay per link to link my own posts. Ranking related posts is a solved problem, and it runs fine on an ordinary web server.
JnK Plugins is small. When you email support, I read it, and I'm usually the one who fixes it. If something is missing or broken, telling me is the fastest way to get it fixed.
We run it ourselves
Our own blog runs Linkweave Pro across its posts, updated through the same dashboard updater you get. Read any post there and you're looking at it working.
Visit the blogFree vs Pro
Free covers suggestions, unlimited auto-linking and the reports. Pro adds the bulk tools, repairs, analytics and exports.

FAQ
Not right now. The listing is temporarily closed pending a review, so the free version is a direct download from this site. Once installed it updates itself from your WordPress dashboard like any other plugin.
No. Linkweave finds related posts on your own server, and nothing leaves your site. The optional AI second opinion in Pro only runs if you switch it on and add your own OpenAI or Anthropic key.
In our tests the auto-link pass adds about 0.09ms to a typical post, and indexing runs in the background, never while a visitor waits. Suggestions are cached until the post changes.
Links you insert from the editor suggestions are saved in the post, so they stay. Links added by keyword auto-link rules are applied when the page renders, so those stop if the plugin is deactivated.
Pro keeps working for 30 days. After that the Pro tools in your dashboard lock, but related posts, link preview cards and click tracking keep running on your site, and auto-link rules (a free feature) keep running too. Your index, rules and reports are kept. Renew any time to unlock Pro straight away.
Yes. Every paid plan has a 14-day money-back guarantee. Email us within two weeks of buying and you get the full amount back.

Install the free version and the orphan report fills in within minutes. If you never upgrade, that's fine too.
