No heavy framework, no third-party dashboard, no click-tracking table that quietly grows into the millions of rows. Your links and your click data stay in your own database. **Free forever core** — cloaking, redirects, categories, stats, and import are all in the free plugin. No link cap. **Built for affiliate marketers and bloggers** * **Cloaked or direct links** — choose per link (`/go/your-slug/` cloaked redirects, or plain direct links when a program requires them, e.g. Amazon Associates) * **Real per-link stats** — last 7 days, last 30 days, and all-time click counts at a glance, no digging through a generic report screen * **Configurable redirects** — 301 or 302, custom `/go/` prefix, optional admin- click exclusion **Fast to work with** * `[lazylink slug="..."]` shortcode, plus an «Insert Affiliate Link» block-editor tool to search or quick-add a link without leaving your post * **Optional keyboard shortcut** to open the insert tool while writing — off by default, and offered as a short list of safe combos so it never collides with Bold/Italic/Link or your browser’s own shortcuts * **Categories** with their own default link type, so bulk-adding links from one program is quick * **Unlimited links, always free** — no artificial cap on how many links you can manage **Switching from another plugin?** Bring your links across with the built-in import tool — see the FAQ for supported sources. **Built to stay light** * Vanilla PHP and core WordPress APIs only — no JS frameworks, no build step, no phoning home to a third-party service * Every query uses `$wpdb` prepared statements; nonces and capability checks on every admin action #### Why LazyLink LazyLink is built and used daily on a real affiliate site — not a feature checklist assembled to compete on paper. If you’ve outgrown a bloated link plugin, don’t want to pay premium pricing, or just want fewer moving parts, that’s exactly what this is for. ## Screenshots [⌊Links tab — add and manage links at a glance⌉⌊Links tab — add and manage links at a glance⌉[ Links tab — add and manage links at a glance [⌊Add/edit a link — cloak or direct, category, redirect type⌉⌊Add/edit a link — cloak or direct, category, redirect type⌉[ Add/edit a link — cloak or direct, category, redirect type [⌊Stats tab — 7-day, 30-day, and all-time clicks per link⌉⌊Stats tab — 7-day, 30- day, and all-time clicks per link⌉[ Stats tab — 7-day, 30-day, and all-time clicks per link [⌊Block editor — the "Insert Affiliate Link" tool, search or add a link without leaving your post⌉⌊Block editor — the "Insert Affiliate Link" tool, search or add a link without leaving your post⌉[ Block editor — the «Insert Affiliate Link» tool, search or add a link without leaving your post [⌊Settings — prefix, redirect type, admin-click exclusion⌉⌊Settings — prefix, redirect type, admin-click exclusion⌉[ Settings — prefix, redirect type, admin-click exclusion ## Installation 1. Upload the `lazylink` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install through the ** Plugins** screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen. 3. Go to **LazyLink** in the admin menu to add your first link. 4. If links 404 after activation, go to **Settings Permalinks** and click **Save Changes** to regenerate rewrite rules. Switching from another plugin? Use **LazyLink Import** to bring your links across— see the FAQ for details. ## FAQ ### How is LazyLink different from other link managers? LazyLink is built to be smaller and simpler: no bundled frameworks, no bloated click- tracking table, and stats that actually tell you how a specific link is performing without extra clicks. Links are always unlimited, even on the free version. ### Can I import my links from ThirstyAffiliates? Yes — go to **LazyLink Import** and select ThirstyAffiliates as the source. Your links, categories, and redirect settings are brought across automatically. ### How do I add a link to a post? Use the shortcode `[lazylink slug="your-slug"]`, or the «Insert Affiliate Link» tool in the block editor’s text toolbar. ### Can I use a keyboard shortcut to insert a link? Yes — turn one on under **LazyLink Settings**. It’s off by default, and you pick from a short list of safe combos rather than typing your own, so it can’t collide with Bold/Italic/Link or a shortcut your browser already owns. ### Can I change the `/go/` prefix? Yes — set it under **LazyLink Settings**. ### Does this track my own clicks when I’m logged in as admin? Not by default — admin clicks are excluded from tracking. This is configurable under** LazyLink Settings**. ### Is there a link limit? No — LazyLink supports unlimited links on the free version. ### Does LazyLink slow down my site? No third-party requests, no external tracking calls, and no heavy dependencies — redirects and click logging run on plain WordPress APIs. `/go/` links are also matched and redirected as early as possible in the WordPress request lifecycle, before other plugins and your theme finish loading, so a click doesn’t wait on the rest of the site to boot. ### Where can I get support?
