Why use a WordPress URL Shortener?

Using your own domain for short links builds trust with your audience. It also ensures your links never break if a third-party service (like Bitly) goes down or changes its pricing.

Does it affect site speed?

No. Shorterm is optimized to be extremely lightweight. It uses WordPress Object Cache and Transients to ensure zero impact on performance.

Can I customize the short URL text?

Yes! Unlike many other plugins, Shorterm allows you to create Custom Slugs (e.g., yoursite.com/winter-sale) in the free version.
