BetterLinks Pro is a WordPress plugin that helps you manage and shorten links on your website, turning long URLs into shorter, cleaner ones using your own domain. You can create these links quickly—sometimes with one click—and organize them in your dashboard with a drag-and-drop setup, making it easier to keep track of everything. It works with editors like Gutenberg or Elementor, so you can add or redirect links right where you’re building pages, without jumping between screens.
The plugin tracks how many times your links get clicked, showing you data like where the clicks come from or which devices people use, all from within WordPress. The free version handles basic shortening and tracking, while the Pro version adds tools like setting link expiration dates, building UTM codes for campaigns, or sharing links automatically to social media. It’s useful if you’re running affiliate programs, marketing campaigns, or just want to see how your links perform without relying on outside services.
You control it all from your WordPress dashboard, and it can pull in links from other plugins like Pretty Links if you’re switching over. For sites that need to promote content or track clicks—like blogs, stores, or affiliate pages—BetterLinks Pro offers a way to keep links tidy, monitor their use, and adjust them as needed, all while keeping your site’s data in one place.
