Hash Permalink

Hash Permalink is a lightweight, high-performance WordPress plugin that automatically replaces default post slugs with random hash-based short URLs when new content is published.

Why Use Hash Permalinks?

• Privacy & Security — Hash URLs prevent content scraping and hide your publishing patterns.
• Clean & Professional — Short, random URLs look modern and trustworthy.

• Post Type Support — Works with Posts, Pages, and any registered Custom Post Type.
• Custom Prefix & Suffix — Add optional URL prefixes or suffixes.
