Ultra-lightweight and secure plugin to bulk delete ALL internal links from WordPress posts or pages with a single click.

== Description ==

This plugin is ideal for users who want to reset their interlinking process. It allows you to:

* Automatically remove all internal links from posts and pages.
* Exclude specific links from removal by defining prefixes (e.g., `/go/`, `/recommend/`).

On my Cloudways Linode (1 core/1GB RAM) 171 posts are done within 7 seconds on the Fast speed setting.
