Shield your Joomla users from phishing risks with "System - External Link Warning," a vital plugin that alerts them when they’re about to leave your site. Keep your community safe and your site’s reputation intact by adding a simple yet effective warning system to external links—because not every destination is as trustworthy as your Joomla platform.
How It Works
"System - External Link Warning" seamlessly integrates into your Joomla site, adding a JavaScript alert that activates whenever a user clicks an external link. The alert warns them they’re leaving your site, giving them a chance to reconsider—potentially saving them from phishing scams or unsafe destinations. Customize the experience with precision: exclude specific domains or CSS classes from triggering warnings, add a warning icon via CSS, or force external links to open in a new tab for added safety.
