Overview

I will start with saying that the external links from our websites pass some of our own juice to the website that they link to. That is not a bad thing at all, i love my juice being passed to websites like WordPress.org or to the websites that have similar content like mine e.g. : websites of the plugin authors that i review and promote on fivera.net or a cool online tool that i use like Pingdom or codepen.io

But i certainly dont want my juice to go to exterminate rats with this great new poison website, only because the author has made a decent comment on one of my articles.

So I have created this simple yet effective plugin to keep the external links to the minimum.
Here’s the page with more details about it.
