Great! Base64 Shortlinks plugin ads no tables to your Wordpress blog database.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.
