Introducing My Enhanced WordPress Plugin for Yourls URL Shortener
I recently developed a new WordPress plugin based on an existing Yourls URL Shortener plugin. While it retains all the core functionalities of the original plugin, I have significantly expanded its capabilities by integrating powerful new features that enhance tracking, monitoring, and overall link management.
What’s New?
In addition to standard URL shortening, my plugin introduces several advanced features to improve the reliability and usability of shortened links:
✅ Real-Time Analytics – Get instant insights into link performance, including visitor count, referrer details, and geographic tracking.
✅ Website Availability Checks – Ensure your shortened URLs are still active by automatically checking whether the linked website is accessible.
✅ Content Change Monitoring – Detect if the content of the linked website changes over time, preventing misleading or broken redirects.
✅ Automated Website Screenshots – Periodically capture and store screenshots of the linked website for reference, compliance, or verification purposes.
✅ More Features in Development – Additional tools are currently being tested to further extend the plugin’s capabilities.
Why This Plugin?
Managing shortened URLs shouldn’t just be about creating short links—it should also be about ensuring reliability, tracking engagement, and maintaining trust. My plugin takes URL shortening beyond just redirections, offering a complete monitoring and analytics solution to keep your links functional and useful.
This is just the beginning! More features are coming soon as I continue to refine and improve the plugin.
