Description

🔗 Fuel your links. Power your shortcodes.

Link Reactor is a WordPress plugin for managing links, creating shortcodes, and handling URL redirects. Create clean, trackable links, build custom shortcodes, and monitor clicks — all from one dashboard.

✨ Key Features

  • Smart Redirects — 301, 302, or 307 redirects with custom URL prefixes per link. Default prefix is /go/ — change it to /ref/, /dl/, /out/, or remove completely for short URLs like yoursite.com/sale.
  • Affiliate Link Cloaking — Hide ugly affiliate URLs behind clean, branded links on your own domain. Perfect for Amazon, ClickBank, ShareASale, and any affiliate program.
  • Click Tracking — Every click is logged with timestamp, IP address, browser, and referrer data. View stats directly in the dashboard.
  • Shortcode Blocks — Store HTML, JavaScript, or CSS as named blocks. Insert anywhere with a simple shortcode like [reactor block="my-code"]. Edit once — updates everywhere.
  • Live Search & Filtering — Instantly find links and shortcodes with real-time search. Filter by categories in one click.
  • Editor Button — A convenient button in the WordPress editor toolbar lets you insert shortcodes or crafted links without leaving the post editor. Browse, search, and click to insert.
  • Unlimited Everything — Create unlimited links and shortcodes. No restrictions, no premium tiers. Everything is included for free!
  • 10 Languages — Fully translated into English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, and Korean with automatic language detection.
