FAQ
-
How often are backlinks checked?
-
Backlinks are automatically verified once a day via WordPress Cron. You can also trigger a manual check at any time from the dashboard.
-
How many backlinks can I monitor?
-
There is no limit. You can add as many backlinks as you need.
-
How does the verification work?
-
The plugin visits each URL and checks whether the expected anchor text is present on the page. If found, the backlink is considered active.
-
Does the plugin slow down my site?
-
No. Verifications run in the background via WordPress Cron and have no impact on your site’s front-end performance.
-
Can I import backlinks from Ahrefs or other tools?
-
Yes. The plugin supports CSV imports from Ahrefs, SEMrush, Majestic, Bing Webmaster Tools, and Google Search Console.
-
Is my data secure?
-
Yes. All data is stored in your own WordPress database. The only external communication is with the optional isIndexed API if you choose to enable and configure it.
