Great plugin and easy to use
Using GT Link Manager on multiple sites now and honestly the geolocation targeting is the standout feature no external API calls, no added latency, just works off the CDN headers. Redirects visitors to the right country page automatically without slowing anything down.

Best Link Management Plugin
GT Link Manager is a refreshing find for anyone who values technical efficiency and a clean workflow. I appreciate how it prioritizes speed by using custom indexed database tables, which means redirects happen almost instantly with nearly 0ms of overhead. This level of performance is rare for a free tool and makes a noticeable difference for SEO. The integration into the Gutenberg toolbar is another thoughtful touch that saves me from constantly jumping between tabs while writing. It provides professional features like granular SEO attributes and a full REST API without the typical bloat found in other plugins. It is a reliable and high performance choice for managing affiliate links or simple redirects.
