Link Tracker adds internal and external link counts to post, page, and CPT list views in the WordPress admin.

== Description ==

Link Tracker is a simple plugin for WordPress that adds the ability to track and display internal and external link counts in the post, page, and custom post type (CPT) list views in the WordPress admin dashboard.

It also makes these link counts sortable, allowing you to organize your posts and pages based on the number of internal or external links they contain.

== Features ==

- Adds two custom columns ("Internal Links" and "External Links") to the post, page, and custom post type list views.
- Displays the number of internal and external links for each post/page/CPT.
- Makes the "Internal Links" and "External Links" columns sortable.
- Automatically analyzes the links when a post is saved and updates the link counts.

== Installation ==

1. Download the plugin zip file and extract it.
2. Upload the `link-tracker` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
3. Go to the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress and activate the "Link Tracker" plugin.
4. Once activated, you will see the "Internal Links" and "External Links" columns in the post/page/CPT list views.

== How to Use ==

After activating the plugin, the link counts will automatically appear in the list view of posts, pages, and custom post types. The link counts will be updated every time you save or update a post or page.

- "Internal Links" displays the number of links pointing to other content on your website.
- "External Links" displays the number of links pointing to external websites.

You can also sort your posts by the number of internal or external links.
