The 9 Dollar Plugins

The 9 Dollar URLnip is the URL shortener for people who hate unnecessary complexity. It’s minimal, fast, and does exactly one thing well: create short links under your own domain. No database overhead, no external services, no subscription nonsense. 
Data lives in a simple JSON file. Redirects are instant. You stay in control.
Why you’ll actually like it 
Most URL shorteners either send your traffic through someone else’s servers (hello, bit.ly) or add so much database bloat that you wonder why you didn’t just use a pen and paper. URLnip does neither. It lives inside your WordPress, uses a single JSON file, and respects your server resources.
