Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a custom prefix instead of "go"?
Check the module settings. Many link shorteners allow a configurable prefix (e.g. “l”, “s”, “link”).
Do short links work with caching?
Yes. 301 redirects are cacheable. Ensure your caching plugin or CDN doesn’t cache the redirect response incorrectly. Test after enabling cache.
