How do I find or remove external links on my WordPress site?

[Norman_drey]

Everyday jetpack is recording lots of link clicks which I don't know where is coming from, my blog have lots of post which I can't go about checking them one by one,

Is there any plugin or way to check where an external link is coming from.

Or any way to remove them in bulk or even redirect them to a specific page?

I only aware of the first and second link

most SEO tools can check backlinks, I think Ahrefs even allows you to see this for free if you add your site to their WBT

Or any way to remove them in bulk or even redirect them to a specific page?

I'm not sure that I understand what you're asking... do you want to remove external links?? Because you usually don't have control over such links (unless you've built them yourself, or got the login details from the person who built them for you if we're talking about low quality links like bookmarks, web 2.0s, article / wiki links, etc)

probably bot clicks. But even so, you should still be able where the clicks come from if you have analytics software installed on your site

These are links on my site posts, I wanna locate them and erase or change.

scrapebox has an addon that can detect all internal links (and the OBL ones, actually, if you need it), but I'm sure that many SEO tools have this ability... even site auditing tools can crawl all links on your site and split them into internal / OBLs... Just search for a free site auditing tool...

Or, if you're comfortable sharing your site with me I can run it through my Scrapebox and see what we can find

As for the removal part... hmm... I actually don't know how you can remove them in bulk. Maybe try an internal links management plugin?

You're hacked, update plugins and themes.

Use rankmath to add nofollow to external links . This is fastest way without delete links

I don't wanna add no follow, I don't wanna give traffic to those sites

So you should use phpmyadmin and use search command to find "http" in wordpress post table . Then you can see all post with external links .

Try this plugin.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/broken-link-checker/

after activating the plugin, check all posts with it and it will show which post has external links
i think it also have an option to remove/edit those links
