From the perspective of search engine optimization (SEO), there may be a loss of weight transfer in the external links within website content. Therefore, we generally add the nofollow tag to external links. However, using the nofollow tag is not completely safe either. The best suggestion is to encrypt external links with Base64. This can not only reduce the transfer of weight but also hide external links.
Here, the ToBase64URL plugin we developed can automate this function.
As shown above, after the ToBase64URL plugin we developed is installed, you can view the setting parameters in the Settings - ToBase64URL Settings menu.
1. Enable Plugin
If we need to enable this function, we need to check the box.
2. URL Prefix
Set the prefix for encrypted URLs. Default: go.php?url=
3. Whitelist Domains
Enter one domain per line. Links from these domains will not be encrypted. Example: towpdev.com
4. Use Redirect Page
When enabled, shows an intermediate redirect page. Otherwise, redirects directly to the target URL.
5. Add Nofollow Attribute
Add nofollow attribute to external links.It is recommended to check.
6. Open in New Window
Add _blank attribute to external links to open them in a new window.
If Check the option "Use Redirect Page". After we click on an external link, we will be redirected to an intermediate transition page, as shown above, to inform visitors whether to continue accessing.
