I’ve been using LinkMaster for a few months now, and it’s honestly been a game-changer for managing links on my blog. Creating clean, custom permalinks is super easy. The broken link scanner helped me a lot . The click stats dashboard is an absolute gem. If you manage a site or blog, I definitely recommend Linkmaster giving it a try.
