Snipwing turns your own domain into a short-link service. Name a link once and you get a branded URL like yoursite.com\/go\/deck<\/code>, a QR code, and a one-tap copy button.<\/p>\n\n

It is built for speed and restraint, not feature count. No upsell nags, no \"pro\" teasers, no dashboard clutter.<\/p>\n\n

Fast where it matters.<\/strong> A redirect resolves from an indexed slug lookup and, on a site with a persistent object cache, runs zero database queries. The theme never loads on a redirect, so short links are quick even under load. Clicks are recorded after the visitor has already been sent on their way.<\/p>\n\n

Private by design.<\/strong> Snipwing never stores IP addresses, raw or hashed. Click analytics keep only the referring site's domain and a daily count. That keeps the plugin clear of consent-banner territory, and it is a deliberate difference from the incumbents.<\/p>\n\n

Team-ready.<\/strong> Every link has an owner. Editors and above manage their own links by default; administrators manage everyone's. A settings screen lets you grant link management to any role, so a marketing team can run links without full admin.<\/p>\n\n

Features<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  • Branded short links under a prefix you choose (default \/go\/<\/code>).<\/li>\n
  • Per-link QR code, generated in your browser, downloadable as PNG or SVG. Your URLs are never sent to a third-party QR service.<\/li>\n
  • One-tap Copy button, with a mobile layout that works one-handed.<\/li>\n
  • Click analytics: totals, a 30-day chart, and a referrer-domain breakdown. No IP addresses.<\/li>\n
  • Redirect type per link (302 by default; 301, 307 and 308 available) with a plain-language warning on the permanent ones.<\/li>\n
  • Optional expiry date and click limit per link.<\/li>\n
  • Pin the links you share most to the top.<\/li>\n
  • Campaign tags (UTM) builder on the edit screen.<\/li>\n
  • CSV import from Snipwing, Pretty Links or Bitly exports, and CSV export.<\/li>\n
  • Role-to-capability settings, so you decide who can manage links and see stats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Privacy<\/h3>\n\n

    Snipwing stores, per link, a daily click count and the domain of the referring website (for example t.co<\/code>). It does not store IP addresses, full referrer URLs, user agents, or any per-visitor identifier. Statistics older than the retention period you set (12 months by default) are deleted automatically.<\/p>\n\n

    Third-party libraries<\/h3>\n\n

    Snipwing bundles the QR Code Generator library by Kazuhiko Arase (qrcode-generator 1.4.4), used in the browser to draw QR codes. It is licensed under the MIT License. Source and license: https:\/\/github.com\/kazuhikoarase\/qrcode-generator . The library file and its licence are in assets\/js\/vendor\/<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Upload the snipwing<\/code> folder to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code>, or install through Plugins \u2192 Add New.<\/li>\n
    2. Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
    3. Open Snipwing in the admin menu and add your first link.<\/li>\n
    4. Optionally visit Snipwing \u2192 Settings to change the URL prefix or grant link management to more roles.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n

      Does Snipwing track visitors or store IP addresses?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      No. It stores a per-day click count and the referring site's domain, nothing else. No IP addresses, no cookies on the redirect, no per-visitor logs.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Why is 302 the default redirect type?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Browsers cache 301 (permanent) redirects aggressively, often for good. If you mistype a target and someone has already clicked, a 301 becomes very hard to fix. 302 keeps you free to change the target later. Snipwing warns you when you pick a permanent type.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Can I use root-level short links, like yoursite.com\/deck?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Not in this version. Links live under a configurable prefix so they can never shadow a real page or post.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Will the short links slow my site down?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      No. Non-matching requests do a single string comparison and stop. A matched link resolves from the object cache when one is available, and the theme is not loaded for a redirect.<\/p><\/dd>\n

      Can other users manage my links?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

      Only administrators, or a role you explicitly grant the \"edit and delete anyone's links\" capability. Everyone else manages only the links they own.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
