Free Link Shortener
A lightweight WordPress plugin that creates branded short links on your own domain, counts clicks, and gives you detailed reports — no third-party service required.
Overview
Free Link Shortener turns long URLs into clean, branded short links served from your own WordPress site (e.g. https://yoursite.com/go/abc123). It is ideal for sharing posts and WooCommerce products, tracking campaign performance, and keeping all your click data in your own database instead of an external shortener.
Features
- Branded short links on your own domain (/go/your-code).
- Automatic or custom slugs — let the plugin generate a random code, or type your own.
- Detailed click tracking — date/time, IP address, country, browser, and referrer.
- Per-link reports inside a dedicated admin dashboard.
- Editor metabox — create and copy a short link directly from the post/page/product edit screen.
- AJAX row actions — shorten or copy a link straight from the Posts/Products list, with no page reload.
- One-click copy to clipboard (with a fallback for non-HTTPS environments).
- Translation ready (i18n) — full text domain support with an included .pot file.
- Secure — nonce-protected forms
