What customers are saying...
Useful and great support
I needed this plugin to create short links for a custom post type. The programmers were so friendly and added the post type. Thanks for that! Didn’t find any other plugin that fulfills my needs so idealy. Great work!
Best One I’ve Found!
I’ve used a bunch of plugins for link cloaking and this one has to be the best one yet. It’s got a simple, clean and intuitive interface. Keep up the good work guys.
Such a great shortener…
I am a paid user of URL-Shortify. These are the reasons I like about URL-Shortify. Pros: 1) add custom domains(main or sub) to a single site, so I am not tied with only 1 domain to shorten my links. 2) link grouping makes me easier to manage my links. 3) Full link analytics report 4) robot clicks filtering 5) shortener speed is fast 6) provide a shortener for public URL shortener service 7) link cloaking Cons: 1) The custom domain option is not available for posts/pages at the moment(their dev told me that they would make it happen in the coming updates, yeah). So, there will be no cons for this plugin after this is implemented. Overall, perfect! Good job, the team of Url-Shortify. Keep the good work. Regards, Jornes
Does what is says it will do and very well
Happy with the Shortify plugin. Easy to use and does the job well.
A good tool for saving
I have used the pretty links plugin before but it doesn’t have these plugin options so I suggest you use this one with so many free options
