Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

ARN Smart URL Manager is a modern, lightweight, and scalable URL management system built for WordPress.

It goes beyond simple short links by providing a complete link workflow: creation, redirection, tracking, and URL review — all inside a clean and fast interface.

Whether you’re managing campaigns, improving user experience, or building link-in-bio pages, this plugin gives you full control over your URLs.

🚀 Core Features

🔗 Short Link Engine

Create clean, trackable short URLs in seconds with a structured and scalable system.

🔁 Smart Redirect System

Manage 301 and 302 redirects with precision and reliability.

📊 Lightweight Analytics

Track clicks and link performance without external services — fully local and privacy-friendly.

🛡️ URL Health Review

Review the URLs of your posts and pages for routing conflicts, duplicate risks, readability, and title alignment. Scans run in the background in small steps, so large sites are not checked in one long request.

📱 QR Code Generator

Generate QR codes (PNG) for your short links and custom content in QR Studio. Requires the PHP GD extension.

🌐 Bio Page Builder

Create simple and effective link-in-bio pages for social media profiles.

⚡ Why ARN Smart URL Manager?

  • Built for performance — lightweight and fast
  • Clean and modern admin interface
  • Works independently from WordPress permalinks
  • WordPress Multisite support with separate data for each site
  • No external services required
  • Includes Settings > ARN Free AI, the shared screen where ARN Free plugins that use AI get their provider, your own API key, model and usage limits; this plugin itself sends no AI requests

🔒 Privacy First

  • No external tracking
  • No API connections of its own; only the optional “Test connection” and “Load models” buttons of the shared Settings > ARN Free AI screen contact an AI provider, when an administrator clicks them (see External services)
  • All analytics stored locally in your WordPress database

⭐ Pro Version

com. It uses the same data, so your links, redirects, QR settings, and analytics stay in place when you switch. It adds, among others:

  • Custom permalinks and canonical safety tools
  • Smart App Links with device-based app and store routing
  • Branded QR tools with SVG output
  • Broken link checks for redirects
  • Advanced analytics and reporting

The free version works on its own and does not require the Pro version or a license.

External services

ARN Smart URL Manager does not send any site content to an AI provider and does not contact any ARN server. Links, redirects, QR codes and analytics work entirely on your own site.

ARN Free AI (Settings > ARN Free AI). The plugin bundles ARN Free AI, the shared AI settings screen of ARN Free plugins. Only when a site administrator chooses a provider on that screen and clicks “Test connection” (one short fixed test prompt, no site content) or “Load models” (the provider’s model list) is a request sent, with the administrator’s own API key, to that provider only, at that moment.

The API key is stored encrypted in the WordPress database. No data is sent to any other provider.

  • OpenAI-compatible endpoint: requests go to the address the administrator enters; that service’s own terms apply.

If WordPress AI is chosen instead, the test request goes through the provider connected in WordPress (Settings > Connectors) under that provider’s terms.
