    First of . Excellent plugin! Thank you Devs!

    I have been evaluating your plugin against others and so far I am loving yours!
    However there is an issue I hope can be resolved.
    I have a dynamic page meaning different URL parameters change the content of the page.
    For example:

    https://thisdomain/thispage/?image=this_image&content=this_content

    The first time the bitly link is created, it is correct, but when a URL parameter changes, the bitly link remains the same from the previous and does not reflect the new parameter changes.
    If I go to ‘Clear Bitly Cache” it will work again for the first time but then stop as mentioned above.
    Can this be resolved?

    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the appreciation 🙂
    Reason behind this is bit.ly url is cached after someone visits a web page first time until the admin clears the bitly cache from the plugin configuration page. There is a limit on the API requests you can send to bitly server to generate short urls. If you generate this request every time a web page loads, this limit will reach its limit in no time. We will include other short url options in the upcoming updates of the plugin.

    Thank you for the reply.
    May I ask? What time frame have you for a shortened URL solution?
    It’s a feature that separates you apart form many others.
