Clicklet URL Shortener

com/promo, and tells you how they perform. No third-party service, no monthly fee, and your data stays on your site.

Built for speed

• Short links resolve before the theme and most of WordPress load. With the optional fast path, they resolve before other plugins load too.

• Requests that cannot be a short link (multi-segment paths, files, admin, REST) are filtered out from the URL alone, without a database query.

• Clicks are recorded after the visitor has been redirected, so tracking never slows a redirect down.

• Works with persistent object caches such as Redis and Memcached.

Privacy friendly by default

• No raw IP addresses are stored. Visitors are counted with an anonymous hash that changes every day.

• No cookies, and no requests to external services.

• Countries come from your CDN or host (for example Cloudflare) when available.

Features

• Unlimited short links with custom or generated slugs

• Groups to organize links (a link can be in several groups)

• Automatic short links for posts, pages and custom post types, kept in sync when the permalink changes

• Short link panel in the block editor, and short links as the WordPress shortlink (admin bar, rel=shortlink)

• 301, 302, 307 and 308 redirects

• Click history with no time limit: clicks, unique visitors, countries, devices, browsers, operating systems and referrers

• Bots, link previews (Slack, WhatsApp, Facebook…) and browser prefetches are not counted as clicks

• Expiring links, by date or number of clicks

• Password-protected links (passwords are stored hashed, with brute-force protection)

• QR codes generated on your site (SVG and PNG), with QR scans counted separately in the stats

• Dashboard widget: shorten a URL and see the week’s most clicked links

• Query string forwarding

• Optional prefix, for example /go/promo

• Protection against slugs that would hide existing pages

• Import & export links, daily stats and click details as CSV: move everything between sites or edit links in a spreadsheet (Excel files with semicolons work too)

• One-click migration from URL Shortify and Pretty Links, including click history, groups and link passwords

• REST API and WP-CLI commands

• Multisite support
