## WordPress starts adding noopener noreferrer tags automatically
Did you notice that noopener noreferrer tags are being added to both external AND internal links that are set to open in a new tab (target_blank) in your WordPress blog? I noticed this happening on my blog last night. I disabled WordPress plugins, changed my browser as well as my PC to check if it was something specific adding them. When I found that it was still happening, I decide to search on the Internet and that is when I found that some users were reporting the same issue on WordPress forums.
You have to say that this has to of been a good idea to stop the bad guys redirecting pages. Saying this it has been reported that this process was also working on internal links that open in new tabs and also then adding the nofollow attribute.
This could have some complication with your sites SEO as there is absolutely no reason to no follow internal links.
