PublishPress Shortlinks Pro

PublishPress Shortlinks Pro lets you create clean, branded short URLs for WordPress posts and external links. It keeps link management in the WordPress dashboard, so you can organize and monitor shortened links alongside your site content. Built-in click tracking and analytics help you review link performance, audience engagement, and traffic sources.

The plugin also gives you ways to manage how and when people reach a link. Choose among 301, 302, and 307 redirects, share draft posts through shortlinks, require a password for access, or set an expiry date. QR codes are available for links as well, making them usable in print and mobile campaigns.
