Redirects & affiliate links, REST-ready.
The lean, fully documented successor to Pretty Links and Redirection – full-featured and free, no external servers, entirely in your hands.
Everything a link manager needs
Focused on the essentials – yet complete. From pretty short links to a machine-readable API.
Short links & cloaking
Your own /go/ links on your domain, with rel="nofollow"/"sponsored" and optional parameter pass-through.
5 redirect types
301, 302, 307, 308, and 410 (Gone) – the right status code for every purpose.
Click statistics
Timeline plus a breakdown by device, browser, and country – at a glance.
GDPR-friendly privacy
IP anonymization, bot filtering, optional referrer, country resolved purely from server/CDN headers – no external GeoIP.
QR codes
One QR code per link, generated locally in the browser – no external service.
404 monitor
Dead URLs are logged and become a redirect with one click. Bot traffic and attack scans on wp-config or phpmyadmin are listed separately, and Linkjet tidies up its own log.
Categories & bulk actions
Organize links and edit many at once. Plus a Gutenberg block and the [linkjet] shortcode.
Import wizard
One click imports your redirects from Pretty Links and Redirection, including click stats if you want them. The wizard also reads the new data model of Pretty Links 4.0 and finishes migrations that got stuck halfway.
CSV & JSON backup
Import and export for migration and backup, plus a performance cache and case-insensitivity fallback.
Regex redirects
Rules written as a regular expression, for entire path patterns. Linkjet checks the expression when you save it and tests it against a sample URL before the rule goes live.
Conflict guard
Warns you before saving if a redirect hides a real page, overlaps another rule or hits critical paths such as checkout, login or REST. Redirect loops are refused outright.
From zero to your first link
Install & import
Activate the plugin and, if you have any, bring in your existing redirects from Pretty Links or Redirection with the wizard.
Create a link
Pick a slug (e.g. /go/offer), enter the target, set the redirect type and cloaking options – done.
Track & automate
Track clicks in the stats or control everything via the REST-API – ideal for AI-powered workflows.
A complete REST-API with OpenAPI
Every action in Linkjet is also possible programmatically – authenticated via WordPress Application Passwords. Perfect for automation and AI assistants.

Does Linkjet cost anything?
No. The complete link manager is free and stays free under GPLv2: every core feature, from short links and click stats to the REST-API, is available without restrictions, with no locked features and no ad banners in the admin area. Linkjet Pro is available as a separate add-on and adds bulk actions in the link checker, scheduled client reports by email and the AI connection over MCP without a credit system. It takes nothing away from the free version.
Can I migrate from Pretty Links or Redirection?
Yes. The import wizard brings in your existing redirects with a single click – including your past click stats if you want them.
Is any data sent to third parties?
No. Linkjet makes no external calls. IP addresses are anonymized, bots are filtered, and country detection comes purely from server headers – with no external GeoIP database at all.
Can Linkjet be controlled via API or AI?
Yes. There's a complete REST-API at /wp-json/linkjet/v1/, including an OpenAPI manifest. That means links, stats, and the 404 monitor can be automated or managed by an AI assistant.
What are the requirements?
WordPress 5.8 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer. The interface is available in six languages (German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch).
