  • Much needed - great plug in

    This plug-in, Redirect, has been quite helpful so that we don't need to use other URL shorteners. Having a URL based on our own site, allows us to create links as we need them. It works well and does exactly what we need.

  • Great plugin! Simple and easy to set up

    A very simple and convenient plugin. Fast and easy to configure, especially when you only need to set up a small number of redirects. Works great!
