What it does
Long affiliate URLs and campaign links get messy fast, especially when they are spread across dozens of posts. This plugin gives you one place inside WordPress to create short links, organize them and see how often they get clicked. You can use your own custom domain so links carry your brand, and you can add UTM parameters automatically instead of typing them by hand for every campaign.
Links are managed through a drag and drop dashboard where you can sort, filter and group them, then share any link in one click. A full site scanner checks your WordPress site for active, broken or inactive links so you can fix problems. Analytics cover click data and geography, with country tracking as an opt-in setting, plus IP exclusion to keep your own visits out of reports.
Best for
- Affiliate marketers managing many partner links
- Bloggers who want clean, branded URLs
- Marketing teams tracking campaigns with UTM parameters

Questions about BetterLinks Pro
Do I need the free BetterLinks plugin as well?
Yes. The Pro add-on works on top of the free BetterLinks plugin, which needs to be active on your site. The Pro features, such as the link scanner, UTM templates and geography analytics, extend that base plugin.
Can I use my own domain for short links?
Yes. You can connect your own custom domains and create branded short links with them, so the URLs you share reflect your brand instead of a generic shortener address.
Will it help me find broken links on my site?
It includes a full site link scanner that checks your WordPress site and reports which links are active, broken or inactive. That gives you a list to work through when cleaning up old posts and pages.
Can I keep my own clicks out of the analytics?
Yes. IP exclusion lets you leave out specific IP addresses, such as your own or your team's, so the click reports reflect real visitors. Country tracking is a separate opt-in setting.
Is BetterLinks Pro free?
The code of BetterLinks Pro is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of BetterLinks Pro is this?
Version 3.0.5, released Oct 14, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update BetterLinks Pro?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of BetterLinks Pro automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
What does BetterLinks Pro need?
BetterLinks Pro needs Betterlinks installed and active.
