Add Missing Link Titles

Description

Add Post Title to Links is a extremely lightweight plugin for WordPress that improves link accessibility and SEO by adding a title attribute to links (<a> tags) within your post content.

If a link doesn’t already have a title, the plugin will try to:

Use the current post’s title if the link is within the main post loop
Find the post associated with the link and use its title

This plugin is ideal for site owners who want a quick and automatic way to make links more accessible and descriptive.

I’m the author of this plugin. I’m leaving this review because I genuinely believe it can help users looking for a simple way to add missing title attributes to their links.Since the plugin is new, it doesn’t yet appear prominently in search results. Unfortunately, the algorithm tends to bury newly released plugins. This review is a small step to help it reach the users who might benefit from it.
