Lighter, Faster, Smarter: The Performance Update
Automatic internal linking just got a serious engine upgrade. The link data your storefront loads is now up to 3× smaller, your shoppers' pages get a measurable speed boost, and Link Recommendations digs dramatically deeper into your catalog than ever before. Everything happens automatically — there is nothing to configure.
⚡ Up to 3× lighter on every page view
Every time a shopper opens a page on your store, InterLinks loads your keyword library to build links in real time. We re-engineered that payload from the ground up: it now carries only what the linking engine actually needs — nothing more.
The results, measured on real stores:
Up to 65% less for shoppers to download
Link data no longer rides inside the page itself
Big keyword libraries, more room to grow
The biggest wins go to the stores that need them most: merchants running thousands of keywords will feel the difference on every single page view. Lighter pages mean faster loads, happier shoppers, and the page-speed signals search engines reward — which is, after all, the whole point of great internal linking.
A tip of the hat 🎩
The slimmer link package began with Roman Lukiyanov of premiumgeschenk.de — a merchant with a genuinely rare eye for detail. Roman didn't just notice something the rest of the world had overlooked; he dug into the numbers, articulated exactly what he was seeing, and pointed us straight at the opportunity.
That's the kind of partnership that keeps InterLinks sharp. Merchants like Roman push us to be better, and every store running InterLinks now loads faster because of it. Danke, Roman.
🧠 Link Recommendations: a much bigger brain
Link Recommendations — the engine that scans your catalog and hands you ready-to-approve internal linking opportunities — has been expanded across the board.
It reads far deeper into your catalog
The engine now analyzes several times more of your products, collections, pages, and blog posts in a single pass. Large catalogs that used to be sampled are now genuinely explored.
Nothing it learns goes to waste
A deep analysis now builds a library of promising candidates behind the scenes. Ask for more recommendations and they arrive in seconds — no need to re-scan your whole store every time.
Every content type gets its moment
Filter to blog posts, pages, or collections and the engine focuses its full attention — including its AI-powered suggestions — on exactly that content. Blogs are no longer an afterthought; they're a first-class source of linking opportunities.
Bigger batches, live progress
Each generation now delivers substantially more suggestions, with live progress while it works, a clear summary when it finishes, and one-click approval for everything you select.
The result: more opportunities, found faster, from every corner of your store — not just the products.
Already working for you
There's no switch to flip. Your storefront is already loading lighter link data, and your next Generate on the Recommendations page taps the expanded engine. Open InterLinks and put it to work.
