    Developer Notes<\/h3>\n\n

      \n

      Does this plugin modify links on my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      No. It only analyzes and displays existing external links. Your content remains unchanged.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Will it slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      No. The plugin only runs when triggered manually via the admin panel. It does not affect front-end performance.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Is it safe to uninstall the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Yes. If you delete the plugin via the WordPress admin interface, all associated data (database tables and options) will be removed cleanly.<\/p>\n\n<\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
