LC HoverPeek enhances user experience by showing a preview popup when visitors hover over links inside your content.
When a user hovers over a link, the plugin fetches preview information and displays a small popup containing:
- Post title
- Featured image
- Short excerpt
- Link preview
For external links, the plugin automatically fetches metadata such as:
- Page title
- Description
- Open Graph image (if available)
This allows users to quickly preview the destination without leaving the current page.
The plugin is lightweight, optimized for performance, and designed to work with most WordPress themes.
