Linkjet

Linkjet manages redirects and affiliate links with an emphasis on safety and automation: regular-expression redirects are validated when you save and can be tested against a sample path before going live, a conflict guard warns before a redirect shadows a real page or touches critical paths such as checkout and login, a 404 monitor separates real broken links from bot and scanner noise, and the complete feature set is scriptable through a documented REST API with an OpenAPI manifest, for automation and AI-assisted workflows.

Features

• Pretty short links / branded links on your own domain (e.g. your-site.com/go/product)
• Affiliate link management: cloaking, rel="nofollow" / rel="sponsored", query-parameter forwarding
• Redirect types 301, 302, 307, 308 and 410 (Gone)
• Regular-expression redirects with $1–$9 back-references, validated when you save and testable against a sample URL before going live
• Conflict guard: warns you before a redirect shadows a real page, overlaps another rule or hits critical paths such as checkout, login or the REST API – and blocks redirect loops outright
• Click statistics with time-series charts, plus device, browser and country breakdowns
• GDPR-friendly IP anonymisation, bot filtering, optional referrer tracking
• Automatic click-log cleanup after a configurable number of days (WP-Cron)
• Categories to organise your links and bulk actions to manage many at once
• QR code per link, generated locally in the browser (optional drop-in library, no external calls)
• Gutenberg block and [linkjet] shortcode for clean affiliate anchors in your content
• 404 monitor that separates real broken links from bot traffic and vulnerability-scanner probes, with automatic log rotation so the table cannot grow forever
• CSV and full JSON backup (import/export) for migration and backups
• One-click import wizard for existing Pretty Links (v3 and the v4 custom-table data model) and Redirection setups, including click statistics
• Fully internationalised interface, ready for community translations on translate.wordpress.org, plus a language override in the settings
• Complete REST API under /wp-json/linkjet/v1/, authenticated via Application Passwords
