Nofollow by SEO NW

JNofollow manages rel and target attributes for external links in Joomla content. With a single toggle you can enforce site-wide rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" and optionally target="_blank"—while still allowing precise exceptions where needed.

What the plugin does

• Automatically adds rel (nofollow, noopener, noreferrer) and optional target (_blank) to external links.
• Flexible strategy: keep existing rel (extend it) or overwrite it entirely.
• Domain whitelist: treat selected partner domains as internal (keep them follow).
• Domain blacklist: always force rel="nofollow" for specific domains (overrides any bypass).

• Per-link bypass (optional):

  • If a link already has rel="noopener"/noreferrer/ugc/sponsored (and no nofollow), it stays follow.
  • Links with chosen CSS classes (e.g., follow) stay follow.
  • data-follow=1/true/yes keeps the link follow.
  • Optional: remove an existing nofollow when a bypass rule matches.

• Article switches:

  • Exclude entire article: {nofollow=off}
  • Exclude a section: {nofollow=off} … {nofollow=on}
  • Backward compatible: {mnf=off} … {mnf=on}

Quick examples

• Enforce site-wide: https://example.com ? becomes a link with rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" and target="_blank".
• Keep a single link as follow (bypass enabled): A link with rel="noopener" remains without nofollow.
• Whitelist: Add partner.tld ? links to that domain are treated as internal.

Compatibility

• Joomla 5: compatible; tested with PHP 8.1–8.4 (Joomla requires 8.1+).
• Joomla 4: compatible; tested with PHP 8.0–8.4.
• Note: Joomla 3 and older are not supported.

Why JNofollow?

• Sensible, secure defaults (noopener/noreferrer).
• Fine-grained control via whitelist, blacklist, and per-link bypass.
• Clean, lightweight, and performance-minded.
