I installed this plugin in every blog, without this plugin I don’t know how can I save my time. Thanks, developer.

Great plugin, and great communication with the developer

ballwebhost September 27, 2020

The Plugin is extremely useful for us as a media company, and works as expected and needed. Initially, the functionality for custom post types wasn’t there so I reached out to the developer to see if they had any plans to introduce this in the future. To my surprise, I received an email from the developer today saying they were looking into it – and a short while later, there was an update available with the functionality added! Great service! 100% recommend for your shortlink needs!

Great plugin
