About LeBase64URL
From the official readme · v1.5.1Description
LeBase64URL converts external links in WordPress post content into signed redirect URLs. Visitors leave your site through a controlled jump page (or a direct 302), which helps with link management and reduces open-redirect abuse.
Default redirect format
https://example.com/?goto=TOKEN
No files are written to the WordPress root directory. Tokens use Base64URL encoding plus an HMAC signature (Base64 is encoding, not encryption).
Features
- Convert article external links to signed
?goto=redirect URLs - Optional intermediate warning page or direct redirect
- Domain whitelist (exact domain and subdomains)
- Optional
nofollowandtarget="_blank"(withnoopener noreferrer) - Optional: skip conversion for logged-in administrators
- Pretty permalink option:
/go/TOKEN
Privacy
This plugin does not phone home, does not load remote scripts, and does not collect personal data. Redirect tokens are generated and verified locally using WordPress salts.
Documentation
Plugin introduction: https://www.lezaiyun.com/lebase64url.html

Frequently asked questions
What does a redirect link look like?
By default: https://yoursite.com/?goto=TOKEN. You can also set the prefix to go/ for pretty URLs like https://yoursite.com/go/TOKEN.
Is Base64 encryption?
No. Base64 is encoding only. This plugin adds an HMAC signature so forged tokens cannot redirect arbitrarily.
Why do some links not convert?
Internal links, relative links, mailto: / tel: / # anchors, and whitelisted domains are left unchanged. Only http / https external links are converted.
Can administrators see original links?
Yes. Enable 管理员跳过转换 so users with manage_options see original external URLs while logged in.
Do I need go.php in the site root?
No. The recommended method is ?goto=. The plugin no longer writes go.php into the WordPress root.
