Beplus Short Links

Beplus Short Links lets you replace long, ugly URLs with clean branded short links that live on your own domain. Create links like yoursite.com/go/my-link, track every click, and organize links into groups. Key Features

• Branded short links — Create short URLs on your own domain, no third-party service needed.
• Flexible redirects — Choose 301 (permanent), 302, or 307 redirect type per link.
• Click tracking — Counts total clicks and unique clicks (by hashed IP, 24-hour window). No personal data stored.
• Groups — Organize links into groups for easy filtering and management.
• Analytics dashboard — See total links, total clicks, unique clicks, and your top-performing links.
• Custom slugs — Set your own short slug, or let the plugin auto-generate one from the link name.
• Configurable prefix — Change the URL prefix from go to anything you like (e.g. visit, r, out).
• Clean admin UI — A dedicated menu with list table, add/edit forms, groups management, analytics, and settings.

Privacy Beplus Short Links records a SHA-256 hash of the visitor's IP address (salted with your site's auth key) for unique-click detection. Raw IP addresses are not stored for this purpose. Referer and user agent strings are stored for analytics. This click data stays in your own database and is never sent to a third party. Two optional features do send data to external services — see "External services" below for full details. Both are disabled by default and only activate when a site administrator turns them on or manually triggers them.
