Very well build a fun to work with because of the great clarity and before I forget, need to mention the password protection for the links. Ages ago I started to use Wordpress because of its customisable privacy features. LinkCentral is living up to this requirement.

Pros

I finally got the grip of link management thanks to LC. Since it works smoothly inside Wordpress, there is no need to switch platform, which is handy directly under our own domain. Also the dynamic integration as post type with page builders (elementor in my case) and ACF is so valuable.

Cons

On the other hand of the great dynamic abilities, I feared that the integration into WP as a custom post type would slow down the site, but until now everything runs fast even with a bunch of entries into the database. I seems as we are ages away of a necessary database cleanup, so no coplaints at all.

Easy to set up and get going. It is not the sort of plugin you need to watch videos or read documentation before you even start. Although I am looking forward to checking the documentation to see what features I am currently overlooking.

Pros

Having a centralised Link Management resource in my WordPress dashboard is incredibly beneficial. It is clean, simple, and easy to use. The click tracking feature is an added advantage. I think the biggest bonus for me will be the auto broken link checker. As I work on a blog redesign, I can't believe how many there were scattered among my posts.

Cons

A slight niggle, but they only seem to integrate with Google Analytics 4. Link Central is GDPR compliant, but GA4 isn't. I would like to see integration with a wider choice of analytics. I prefer Visitor Tracking.

Hi Susan, thanks so much for your great review! I’m glad LinkCentral is helping with your link management and broken link checks. And thank you for the note about analytics; adding a wider range of 3rd party analytics is on our roadmap. Really appreciate your feedback! – Jordy

So far, LinkCentral has exceeded my expectations. It’s clean, efficient, and does exactly what it promises. I’ve been using it daily and haven’t run into any major issues.

Pros

I really like how simple LinkCentral makes link management right inside WordPress. No need to juggle external tools, it’s fast, intuitive, and fits perfectly into my usual workflow.

Cons

Honestly, I haven’t found anything to dislike so far. Everything’s been smooth, reliable, and works exactly as described.

Switched from

I switched because I wanted something built directly into WordPress. LinkCentral saves time by letting me manage and shorten links right inside my dashboard instead of using an external site.
