How To Show a Popup When a User Clicks a Link With WP Links Plugin

We have many definitions of links, but the most important one is connected to defining links on the Internet. It is referred to as a hyperlink and connects web pages to other web pages.

We have many types of links, and the most important ones are internal and external links. An internal link is a type of hyperlink connected to another page or resource, but it is also characterized by staying in the same domain.

On the other hand, external links are the type of links that go to a different domain. Basically, when you click on an external link, you’re taken to another website or page. It would be very useful to be notified when you click on an external link so you know you’re leaving the website you’re currently on, and WP Links allows you that.

Exit Confirmation
