Beskrywing
The default WordPress “shortlink” URLs look like this: http://www.example.com/blog/?p=123, where “123” is actually a 7+ digit decimal number. This plugin shrinks your shortlinks by encoding that number into only 4 characters, and using the abbreviated URL prefix of your choice.
On my site, the default shortlinks are 35 bytes long, even though I have a very short domain name. This plugin shrinks them to 21 total bytes, which is comparable to most public URL-shortener services, and better than many.
E.g., this: http://www.jwz.org/blog/?p=13240780
becomes: http://jwz.org/b/ygnM
This doesn’t affect your (long) permalinks: those can still be in whatever format you like.

- Upload the
base64-shortlinksdirectory to your/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
