<p><strong>Simple redirect management that works immediately.</strong> Create <code>/go/your-slug</code> redirects in WordPress admin — no configuration required. Optionally accelerate with Cloudflare Workers.</p>
<p>Built by <a href="https://301.st" rel="nofollow ugc">301.st</a> — your redirect management experts.</p>
<h4>What It Does</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Instant redirects</strong> — Works right after activation. No setup, no external services needed.</li>
<li><strong>Full control</strong> — 301/302/307/308 codes, UTM auto-append, query passthrough.</li>
<li><strong>404 catch-all</strong> — Redirect all 404 pages to your homepage or any URL (WP-only).</li>
<li><strong>CSV import/export</strong> — Migrate affiliate links between sites in seconds.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li><strong>WordPress handles everything by default</strong> — Redirects work via WP rewrite rules</li>
<li><strong>Enable edge mode (optional)</strong> — Connect Cloudflare for sub-millisecond redirects</li>
<li><strong>Fail-open design</strong> — If edge fails, WordPress takes over. Redirects never break.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Privacy First</h4>
<ul>
<li>Aggregated click stats only (daily totals)</li>
<li>No IP addresses, no cookies, no User-Agent</li>
<li>GDPR compliant — no consent required</li>
</ul>

<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin optionally connects to the Cloudflare API when the user explicitly enables “Edge Mode” in the Integrations settings page. This feature is entirely opt-in and the plugin works fully without it.</p>
<h4>Cloudflare API</h4>
<p>Cloudflare is a web infrastructure and security company that provides CDN, DNS, and edge computing services. This plugin uses the Cloudflare API to deploy a Worker script that handles redirects at the network edge (before requests reach your WordPress server), resulting in faster redirect responses.</p>
<p>Data sent to Cloudflare (only when edge mode is enabled by the user):</p>
<ul>
<li>API token (provided by the user) — sent with each API request for authentication.</li>
<li>Redirect rules (slugs, target URLs, status codes, UTM parameters) — sent when publishing or updating the Worker snapshot.</li>
<li>Worker JavaScript code — uploaded once during edge mode setup.</li>
</ul>
<p>No visitor data, IP addresses, cookies, or personal information is ever sent to Cloudflare by this plugin.</p>

<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
<p>This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Click statistics are aggregated daily totals only — no IP addresses, cookies, user agents, or personal data are recorded. No consent banner is required.</p>

<p>WordPress 3.0 introduced a native shortlinks feature, which builds URLs using query strings. This plugin converts those URLs to ones using pretty permalinks, which makes for a nicer-looking URL and improves shortlinks’ ability to be cached.</p>
<p>Posts and pages are supported by default, while filters make it possible to support other post types.</p>
<p>For example, https://example.com/?p=123 becomes https://example.com/p/123/.</p>


ETH Simple Shortlinks

Convert WordPress's query-based shortlinks to pretty permalinks that are cacheable. https://example.com/?p=123 becomes https://example.com/p/123/.
