Multiple Also Read Box Plugin For Your Beautiful Website (Plugin Method)

Let’s be blunt: most “related posts” plugins are garbage.

They are the very definition of “bloat.” They’re often 500KB+ and run massive, site-slowing database queries on every single page load, just to show three random, irrelevant links at the very bottom of your post.

As an SEO and 1B-year tech architect, I can tell you two things:

  1. By the time your reader gets to the bottom, they’ve already decided to leave. You’ve missed your chance.
  2. You’ve created a “dead-end article,” which kills your engagement, murders your “time on site,” and tells Google your content isn’t very engaging.

You don’t need a “related posts” plugin. You need a surgical internal linking strategy.

Internal links are the lifeblood of SEO. They’re how you pass “link juice” (PageRank). They’re how you show Google the structure of your site. They’re how you build “content hubs” that dominate the search results.

I got tired of the bloated, inefficient “amateur” plugins. So I built the professional solution: the PSB Multiple Also Read Box plugin.

This isn’t just another box. It’s a surgical, lightweight (just 11KB) tool for building a real internal linking strategy. And I’m giving it to you for free.

This Isn’t a Plugin, It’s an SEO Strategy

The old, failed way is to have one box at the bottom of your post. My plugin is built on two “pro” principles: Multiple Boxes and Surgical Placement.

The “game-changer” is that my plugin lets you create multiple, independent boxes. This means you can create different “Also Read” boxes for different strategies.

But just having multiple boxes isn’t enough. You need precision. I’ve engineered this plugin to let you place each box exactly where you need it—right after paragraph 2, or in the middle of your “Advanced” section.

Think about the power this gives you:

  • After Paragraph 2 (your intro): You can insert a box for “New to This? Start Here,” linking to your beginner’s guides.
  • After Paragraph 8 (your advanced section): You can insert another box for “Expert Techniques,” linking to your pro-level articles.

You’re not just “relating” content; you’re guiding the user. You’re giving them the right link at the exact moment they’re thinking about that topic. This is a massive win for user experience, and it’s exactly what Google’s “topical authority” algorithm loves to see.

Full Architectural Control (Without the Bloat)

I’ve built this 11KB tool to give you the kind of granular control that developers usually have to code by hand.

It starts with Flexible Content Sourcing. For each box you create, you decide where the links come from. You can be “Hands-Off” and just tell it to automatically pull Recent Posts or posts from the Same Category or Same Tag. That’s fine for a simple strategy.

But the real “pro-level” power is in the manual controls. You can tell a box to only pull from a Specific Category (like promoting your “Reviews” inside a “News” post).

Even better is the Manual Custom Links option. This is my favorite. You can manually paste in a list of URLs. Why? Because now you can link to your money pages, your landing pages, or any high-value content. The plugin is smart enough to auto-fetch the title and featured image for you.

Of course, this control is useless without Advanced Display Rules. This is the “Tech Architect” part I’m most proud of. You can Disable a box by Category (e.g., stop your “Beginner” box from showing on “Advanced” posts).

Or, you can Show a box on Specific Post IDs. This is a powerful tactic. You can create a perfectly curated box of links for your single most important, highest-traffic article. You’ve just built a custom-conversion funnel in 60 seconds.

Finally, I’m giving you Deep Appearance Customization. You get full control over the CSS without you ever having to write a line of code. You can create a Floating Title (like a badge) and position it at the Top Left, Center, or Right. You control the Main Box background, border-radius, and border (thickness, style, and color). You even control the link’s Font Size, Color, and Hover Color.

Why does this matter? Because your “Also Read” box shouldn’t look like a generic plugin. It should look like it was custom-built for your theme, which builds trust.

The ProSeoBlogger Guarantee: 11KB & Conflict-Proof

Why is this free 11KB plugin better than a $50 “premium” one?

  1. It’s 11KB. Period. It’s hyper-optimized. It’s not running heavy, site-slowing database queries to “guess” at related content. It’s an efficient tool that does exactly what you tell it to.
  2. It’s 100% Conflict-Proof. As a 15-year developer, I build my code to be isolated. It’s securely coded, “namespaced” (all my functions start with psb_), and will not conflict with your other plugins or break your site.

How to Install & Configure (The Simple Steps)

This is a custom-coded tool, so you get it straight from me—no repository bloat.

  1. Download the plugin zip file from the download box below.
  2. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New.
  3. At the top of the page, click the “Upload Plugin” button.
  4. Choose the .zip file you just downloaded and click “Install Now.”
  5. Activate Plugin.
  6. Navigate to Settings > Also Read Box to start building.
  7. Click “Add New Box,” expand the card, and configure your Content, Appearance, and Disable rules.

Pro Tip: After you save, if you don’t see your new boxes, clear your website’s cache once. Your caching plugin (like WP Rocket or Litespeed) is just serving an old, cached version of the post.

Stop Writing “Dead-End Articles”

Stop using bloated, “stupid” plugins that fail to engage your readers.

Start building real content hubs. Start strategically guiding your users. Start building an internal linking structure that Google loves. This is the tool for that job.
