Sometimes we need to publish the external links of other websites in the WordPress blog. For the purpose of hiding the actual links (or to reduce the loss of link weight), we need to convert the external links into the internal links. Here we recommend a WordPress external link to internal link plug-in - Simple URLs, which can also count the times of accessing and clicking external links. Here is an introduction to this plug-in.
Introduction to Simple URLs
Simple URLs is a simple and practical WordPress external link to internal link short URL plug-in. Adding links is easier than publishing articles. It also supports statistics of link clicks.

Visit the official page of Simple URLs, download and upload to the plug-in directory for installation, or search Simple URLs directly in the background plug-in installation plug-in of the wp blog to find the installation.
