Your links stay
Internal links that Linkilo inserted into your content are saved into the WordPress post content itself. They live in the database under the post, exactly like any other link you’d type into the editor.
If you cancel your Linkilo subscription, those links remain in your content. Nothing is removed.
What you do lose access to
Once your license is no longer active, the plugin locks itself until a valid key is entered:
- The Linkilo admin menu shrinks to a single license screen — Summary, AI Suggestions, Fix Link Health, Reports and the other tools are hidden.
- The Linkilo boxes in the post editor (link suggestions, Link Analysis Dashboard) stop loading.
- The Related Posts block under your content stops showing.
- Plugin updates stop.
Display extras Linkilo adds while it runs — link styling, link icons and the Link Preview hover card — are display-only. The links underneath are ordinary HTML and are untouched. If you reactivate later, everything comes back.
Reports and analytics
Click counts, crawl logs, Fix Link Health history and other Linkilo data live in custom database tables. They stay in the database after cancellation but you won’t be able to view them without an active license.
