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
Hash Permalink is a lightweight, high-performance WordPress plugin that automatically replaces default post slugs with random hash-based short URLs when new content is published.
Why Use Hash Permalinks?
Privacy & Security — Hash URLs prevent content scraping and hide your publishing patterns.
Clean & Professional — Short, random URLs look modern and trustworthy.
SEO Safe — Only applies to new posts; existing URLs are never modified.
Flexible — Customize hash length, character set, prefixes, and which post types to apply.
Key Features
Auto Hash Generation — Seamlessly generates unique hash slugs using cryptographically secure random numbers.
Collision Prevention — Database-level uniqueness check with automatic retry.
Multiple Character Sets — Choose from numeric, lowercase alphanumeric, mixed case, or hexadecimal.
Configurable Length — Select 8, 12, or 16 character hashes.
Post Type Support — Works with Posts, Pages, and any registered Custom Post Type.
