<h3>Automatically create shortlinks for your posts</h3>
<p>PublishPress Shortlinks will automatically generate links for all your posts and pages. This makes it really easy to have shareable links for content. These shortlinks are available from the Posts screen and the Post Edit screen.</p>
<h3>Use your own website domain for shortlinks</h3>
<p>There’s no need to use an external service to build and track your links. With PublishPress Shortlinks, all your custom URLs use your own domain name. To avoid conflicts with any regular URLs on your site, there’s also a folder which is set to “go” by default. This means that your custom URLs will look like this: https://example.com/go/shortlinks</p>
<h3>Customize the slug for each shortlink</h3>
<p>Every post has its own URL. By default, the final part of the URL will be a unique combination of 5 characters, so your shortlink will look like this: https://example.com/go/8vi3n. However, you can customize the slug so it looks like this: https://example.com/go/shortlinks.</p>

<h3>Share shortlinks for posts in any status</h3>
<p>When you’re writing a draft post, do you sometimes need to share it with someone who doesn’t have access to your site? PublishPress Shortlinks is the answer. PublishPress Shortlinks allows you to share posts before you make them public. If you’ve written a draft of a post, you can share a preview with other people. You can protect these links by combining this with other features, including password protection and automatic expiry of links. This feature is similar to the Public Post Preview plugin, but with more features and customizable features.</p>

<h3>Automatically expire your shortlinks on a specific date</h3>

<h3>Choose from 301, 302, and 307 redirects</h3>
<p>Edit a shortlink and go to the “Redirection” tab. You can choose what kind of redirect is used for each link. 301 (Permanent) redirects are used to tell search engines that a requested URL has been permanently moved to another URL. If you’re confident that your target URL will never change, then use this redirect type. 302 and 307 (Temporary) redirects tell search engines that the requested URL has been moved temporarily, but will be back eventually.</p>
