This plugin shortens links and allows you to store them on your website. You can put a link shortener on any page of your website and give your users the opportunity to shorten their links :)
To make the plugin work on your website you should:
1) Create a new page where your users will shorten their long links and add this shortcode there [mx_link_shortener]
2) Create one more page where the short links will go and add this shortcode there [mx_link_shortener_land]
3) Go to the plugin’s settings page in your admin dashboard and fill in some data
4) Send a Link Shortener page url to your friend and ask him/her to shorten a link :)
