Silvercover Link Shortener
Silvercover Link Shortener turns long URLs into clean, branded short links served from your own WordPress site (e.g. https://yoursite.com/go/abc123). It is ideal for sharing posts and WooCommerce products, tracking campaign performance, and keeping all your click data in your own database instead of an external shortener.
Features
- Branded short links on your own domain (
/go/your-code). - Automatic or custom slugs — let the plugin generate a random code, or type your own.
- Detailed click tracking — date/time, IP address, country, browser, and referrer.
- Per-link reports inside a dedicated admin dashboard.
- Editor metabox — create and copy a short link directly from the post/page/product edit screen.
- AJAX row actions — shorten or copy a link straight from the Posts/Products list, with no page reload.
- One-click copy to clipboard (with a fallback for non-HTTPS environments).
- Translation ready (i18n) — full text domain support with an included
.potfile. - Secure — nonce-protected forms and
manage_optionscapability checks (admins only).
Requirements
- WordPress 5.6 or higher
- PHP 7.4 or higher
- (Optional) WooCommerce — for short links on product pages
External services
This plugin connects to the ip-api.com IP geolocation API to look up the country associated with a visitor’s IP address, so that country can be shown in the per-link click reports.
It sends the visitor’s IP address to ip-api.com every time a tracked short link is clicked (one request per click, containing only the IP address). No other data is transmitted.
