## Description

Afraid of internal links and external links management? Use the plugin and set the
website’s internal links in a new tab, and external links in a new tab. You can 
choose either an internal link in a new tab or an external link in a new tab. Or
Both internal and external links in a new tab.

In some cases, you may need to open links in a new tab. We can achieve this by using
this plugin. You can open both external links and internal links in the new tab.

This plugin adds only a few lines of JavaScript code and it does not depend on any
external library. It does not even require jQuery, which is the most common JavaScript
library. Moreover, the code it produces is completely SEO optimized.

## FAQ

### Does it conflict with any other plugin?

The plugin may conflict with other plugins that forcefully change the links’ onClick
attribute.

### Does it work with WooCommerce?

This plugin is still not compatible with WooCommerce because WooCommerce replaces
its external links from a tag to a form tag.
