Protect and optimize your WordPress site

All «sly» links that are created in the plugin, are internal links, that does not allow to flow the weight of your pages to external resources and, conversely, increases their weight, creating the effect of internal linking.

And thanks to the «404 Log», which records all erroneous queries to your site, you have the opportunity, first, to correct links to the missing or lost files or pages,that improves the loading speed of your site (one of the most important ranking factors), and, secondly, to «calculate» malicious queries designed for identifying vulnerabilities of your site with the aim to hack it.

Protect your links and downloadable files

There are several tools in the plugin to do it:

1. You can control your links outside your site (control of referral sources) – action of links is allowed only for certain domains (sites) or even specific pages. If such a link will be published on the site are not included in this list, link will not operate.
2. Auto Modification of links («Chameleon-randomizer») – link is automatically modified at regular intervals, thus it continuously works only on your site – this is another kind of protection from unauthorized dissemination.
3. Monitoring the status of users – logged in / not logged in. Link may work only for logged in users on your site, and you can set additional restrictions, indicating a minimal user role – subscriber, editor, etc., allowing him to use this link. You can use custom roles created by other plugins too.
4. Monitoring registered user activity. If link with this option will be copied from your site and posted anywhere outside of it – i.e. without your consent, you can determine which of your users has copied this link.
5. Any link can be lifetime limited.
6. You can limit the number of clicks on any link – both general and specific to each visitor personally (e.g. the link can be really one-off to each visitor or registered user). These options – a great tool for creating a «deficit» when you make your audience for a limited supply, which significantly increases the conversion.

All of these protective options you can use both for links leading to web pages and for downloadable files – moreover, the files can be located not only on your same site (hosting), but in any remote storage such as Amazon S3 or the these – where you can get a direct link to a downloadable file.

For any «sly» link you can specify a spare URL – the address of the page, where the visitor is redirected in the event of unauthorized attempts to open the link, or when the restrictions imposed on it, enter into force.

And when you indicate as a spare URL, for example, your landing page or sale letter page, thanks to this option, all your valuable links (for example, to download gifts, lessons, etc. for your customers or subscribers), laid out in a network without your consent, instead of the obvious harm bring tangible benefits, on full automatic replenishing your subscription and customer base!
