About this plugin

Edel Go Redirects lets you create short, memorable links on your own domain, such as https://example.com/go/course, and redirect them to any URL. Each redirect is counted, so you can see which link is used the most.

Typical uses:

  • Put a short link in a book, a slide deck or a printed flyer instead of a long affiliate URL
  • Use a different slug for each place you share the same destination (website, social media, email) and compare the counts
  • Change the destination later without editing the book or the post that contains the link

Features:

  • Add, update and delete links from Tools > Go Redirects
  • Redirect count per link, with a reset button
  • Change the URL prefix (default go) if the path is already in use
  • Links can also be added from code with the edel_go_links filter
  • No custom database tables. Everything is stored in three options and removed on uninstall
