HOW IT WORKS
All modifications to your website are made on the fly. We don’t modify your original content in the database or on the disk. In case something goes wrong and you turn off some features of the plugin or the entire plugin, your website will revert back to its original state.
We developed a plugin with a focus on performance and speed. HTML modifications are dependent on HTML DOM parsing. The process works in the following way:
– A visitor requests a page
– WordPress and your other plugins generate the page
– URLsLab catches the HTML output and parses it into a DOM representation
– All URLsLab plugin modules make modifications in the DOM objects in memory for optimal performance
– Once everything is modified, we regenerate the page to HTML and output it to the visitor
The process is efficient from a speed standpoint, but it has one drawback. If your HTML is not valid, we can’t parse it and make the modifications. In the worst case, the page will be corrupted, as the HTML parser will not be able to reconstruct your page in the same way with original HTML errors. To avoid problems, simply ensure all your HTML templates generate valid HTML.

Frequently asked questions
How can I update the WordPress plugin?
To update your WordPress plugin, navigate to your WordPress dashboard and click on “Plugins” in the left-hand menu. If an update is available, you will see a notification under the plugin name. Click on the “Update Now” link and the plugin will automatically update to the latest version. Make sure to backup your website before updating plugins to avoid any potential issues.
How can I report a bug in the plugin?
To report a bug in the plugin, you can create a new issue in the plugin’s GitHub repository. Provide as much information as possible about the issue you’re experiencing, including the plugin version, WordPress version, and any error messages you’ve encountered. This will help the developer diagnose and fix the issue more quickly.
Where can I request a new feature for the plugin?
To request a new feature for the plugin, you can submit a new issue in the plugin’s GitHub repository, detailing the feature you’d like to see implemented and why you believe it would be beneficial to the plugin’s functionality. The plugin developers will review your request and determine if it’s something they can add to their development roadmap.
Will the plugin work with my WordPress theme?
Most WordPress plugins are designed to work with any theme. However, compatibility issues can sometimes occur due to differences in coding and design. To ensure the plugin works with your theme, check the plugin’s documentation for any known compatibility issues. If you’re unsure, you can also reach out to the plugin developer or your theme’s support team for guidance.
My site is broken after activating or updating the plugin. What should I do?
If your website breaks after activating or updating a plugin, first deactivate the plugin to see if it resolves the issue. If your site is still broken, you may need to restore a backup of your website from before the plugin was activated or updated. Once you’ve restored your site, contact the plugin developer and provide details about the issue so they can investigate and resolve the problem. In the meantime, you may want to look for an alternative plugin with similar functionality.
