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 .pot file.
• Secure — nonce-protected forms and manage_options capability 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.
