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.
