Create branded short redirect links with private, first-party click tracking.

== Description ==

The AV Coach Short Links creates simple, memorable URLs such as `/orders` that redirect visitors to any HTTP or HTTPS destination.

Choose from multiple redirect types including 301, 302, 307, and 308. Manage links through a native WordPress dashboard with search, sorting, pagination, bulk actions, per-link statistics, and CSV import/export.

The plugin provides privacy-focused, first-party click tracking. Each click stores only the redirect link ID and UTC timestamp. It does not collect or store IP addresses, cookies, user agents, referrers, or device information.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
2. Activate The AV Coach Short Links.
3. Navigate to Short Links > Add New.
4. Create your branded path (such as `/orders`) and enter the destination URL.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this track visitors? =

No. The plugin only records the redirect link ID and UTC timestamp. It does not collect IP addresses, cookies, referrers, user agents, or device information.

= Can I redirect to an external website? =
