URL Records

The grand inventory: every internal link Linkilo knows about on your site. Source post, target post, anchor text, when added, by whom. This is your master link-management view.

What this is

The complete picture of Linkilo's view of your site's internal links. Use it for:

• Finding which posts contain a specific link
• Bulk-replacing a target URL across many posts
• Removing broken links
• Auditing what AI Auto-Apply has been doing
• Exporting your link inventory to CSV

Open it

Go to Linkilo → URL Records in the WordPress sidebar (top-level menu).

What you can do

Filter

Filter by:

• Source post (which post contains the link)
• Target post (where the link points)
• Anchor text (what the visible link words are)
• Date added
• Added by (manual / AI suggestion / auto-apply)

Sort

Click any column header.

Per-row actions

• Remove a link — click Remove. The link is deleted from the source post's content immediately.
• Edit a link — click Edit. Change the anchor text OR the target URL.
• View source post — click the source title to open it in the editor.

Bulk operations

Select multiple records via checkboxes:

• Bulk Replace — choose new target URL, applies to all selected
• Bulk Remove — deletes all selected links from their source posts
• Bulk Edit Anchor — change anchor text across multiple records

Export

Click Export CSV at the top to download the full inventory.

Re-sync

Click Re-sync at the top to rebuild Linkilo's link index from scratch by re-scanning every post. Use when:

• A link in URL Records doesn't actually exist in the post (stale index)
• You suspect Linkilo missed some links
• After a major content migration

Re-sync is safe — it doesn't change post content, just rebuilds Linkilo's index of what's already there.

Common Questions

A link in URL Records doesn't exist in the actual post

Possible causes:

• The post was edited and the link was removed manually outside Linkilo. The record is stale.
• A caching plugin is showing an older version of the post in your browser.
• Linkilo's index is out of date.

Fix: click Re-sync at the top of URL Records.

What's the difference between URL Records and Anchor Report?

• URL Records (this) = a row per LINK (source post + target URL + anchor text). Granular.
• Anchor Report = a row per ANCHOR TEXT (with summary of which targets each anchor points to). Aggregated.

Same underlying data, different views. Use URL Records for "which posts contain this link?" Use Anchor Report for "which posts use this anchor text?"

Can I see auto-applied links separately?

Yes — filter by Added by → Auto-Apply to see only links Linkilo's auto-apply feature inserted. Useful for reviewing what the AI has been doing.

Can I undo bulk operations?

Bulk Remove and Bulk Replace are immediate — they edit your post content directly. There's no built-in "undo bulk op" button.

For safety on bulk operations: filter narrowly first, double-check the records, THEN bulk-apply. If you bulk-removed by mistake, you'd need to restore from backup (WordPress doesn't natively snapshot post content).

How large can URL Records get?

Tested with sites running 100,000+ internal links. The page paginates and filters efficiently. If you have a really large site, use filtering to narrow before scrolling.

Will Re-sync slow my site down?

Re-sync runs in the background via WP-Cron. The actual scan reads each post once and indexes the links. For a 5,000-post site, expect 5–15 minutes. Visitors are unaffected.

Can I import a URL Records list from another plugin?

Not directly through the UI. URL Records is read-only from outside — Linkilo builds it by scanning post content. If you've used another internal-linking plugin and want Linkilo to discover those links, just click Re-sync — Linkilo will pick up whatever links exist in your post HTML.
