The AV Coach Short Links creates simple, memorable URLs such as \/orders<\/code> that redirect visitors to any HTTP or HTTPS destination.<\/p>\n\n

Choose from multiple redirect types including 301, 302, 307, and 308. Manage links through a native WordPress dashboard with search, sorting, pagination, bulk actions, per-link statistics, and CSV import\/export.<\/p>\n\n

The plugin provides privacy-focused, first-party click tracking. Each click stores only the redirect link ID and UTC timestamp. It does not collect or store IP addresses, cookies, user agents, referrers, or device information.<\/p>\n\n

Uninstall<\/h3>\n\n

Uninstalling removes all plugin links and click data. Export links before uninstalling if you need a backup.<\/p>\n\n\n
