LinkCentral
What it is
LinkCentral is a WordPress plugin for managing, shortening, tracking, and cloaking custom and affiliate links. It creates short URLs using custom prefixes and slugs, and offers 301, 302, and 307 redirects alongside scheduled, password-protected, and dynamic redirects. Its analytics cover clicks, user behavior, and conversions. Other listed tools include QR codes, link-in-bio pages, role management, imports and exports, IP and bot filtering, email reports, and webhooks. Integrations are listed for Elementor, Gutenberg, Classic Editor, Beaver Builder, and Bricks Builder. When enabled in plugin settings, tracking data can be sent to Google Analytics 4; tracking can also be anonymized or disabled. The plugin supports the WordPress REST API and built-in WordPress hooks. The maker describes it as GDPR- and CCPA-compliant and says it may optionally use MaxMind’s GeoIP database; premium license validation through Freemius may occur if opted in. A free version is available. Premium yearly use on one site costs $49.99 a year, excluding tax, and includes all premium features and one year of updates. A one-site lifetime option is $149.99, paid once, excluding tax.
