The default WordPress “shortlink” URLs look like this: <code>http://www.example.com/blog/?p=123</code>, where “<code>123</code>” is actually a 7+ digit decimal number. This plugin shrinks your shortlinks by encoding that number into only 4 characters, and using the abbreviated URL prefix of your choice.
On my site, the default shortlinks are 35 bytes long, even though I have a very short domain name. This plugin shrinks them to 21 total bytes, which is comparable to most public URL-shortener services, and better than many.
E.g., this: <code>http://www.jwz.org/blog/?p=13240780</code> 
becomes: <code>http://jwz.org/b/ygnM</code>
This doesn’t affect your (long) permalinks: those can still be in whatever format you like.

Simple 301 Redirects By BetterLinks – Easy Redirect Manager for WP, 404 Error Log & More

I had this plugin on all my sites, but since BetterLinks bought it, it became a piece of bloated junk.

Worst update ever

Simple 301 Redirects has provided me a lot of value in the past. Thankful for all the years. But...

Now it is just a Marketing Tool for BetterLinks by WPDeveloper. I can't blame @scottnelle and WPDeveloper for the sale (or whatever transaction happened) but the plugin is bloated with promotion for Betterlinks and worse, does not work out of the box anymore while the "Redirection" plugin does. So will have to migrate dozens of websites to an alternative. :-s

Ruined (after the WPDeveloper acquisition ~ 4 months ago)

This plugin was so easy to use. So many sites used it. However, don't use it for years and think it is going to be easy to remove all the redirects. If you have a large site with history, this could become a nightmare to deal with. Just delete the plugin, move on to another plugin that works. This one sucks!

Don't use this Plugin if you value your site

All redirects randomly stopped working after being fine for many years. Now the redirected paths just return 404. 🤷

Redirects stopped working


This plugin used to be simple, just doing av simple redirecting task. It know has gotten issues cluttering the log file when debugging. Support recommends another, totally bloated plugin. I recommend staying away and find antoher simple redirects mananger. Sad.


No longer maintained
