It presents a smorgasbord of features, where one of the prime features is the competence to add links to your content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_it_important_to_open_a_link_in_a_new_tab\"><\/span>Why is it important to open a link in a new tab?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hold on almost there! Prior to diving into the knick-knacks of how chunks open links in a new tab in WordPress, let&#8217;s take a moment and discover the significance of doing that. Default WordPress functionality opens the link in the same tab or window when someone clicks on the link. Regrettably, this prevents the user from lingering on your website for too long as they&#8217;ll leave your website to view the linked website.<\/p>\n<p>By opening a link in a new tab, it allows your users to explore the linked content without leaving your website, encouraging them towards a virtuous user experience. That way, they can easily return to your website without having to type your URL or hit the back button.<\/p>\n<p>Opening a link in a new tab also keeps your website open in the original tab, thereby increasing the session time and reducing bounce rates. This is especially advantageous for online stores or blogs, especially content-based ones. And, once your user becomes your reader, they are likely to visit your portal again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Two_main_methods_of_opening_a_link_in_a_new_tab_in_WordPress\"><\/span>Two main methods of opening a link in a new tab in WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that we have grasped the importance of opening a link in a new tab, let&#8217;s explore different ways of doing that in WordPress.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Using_the_Classic_Editor\"><\/span>A.
