About WP Yun
From the official readme · v1.1.1Description
WP Yun is the easiest way to replace the internally generated WordPress short links with Yun generated short links.
Provide WP Yun with an authorization token (automatically generated for you by Yun), tell it which post types you’d like to generate short links for, and forget about it! WP Yun does the rest for you.
Short links are a great way to quickly share posts on social media like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Just finished writing an amazing post and want to share that post with your friend? It’s a lot easier to text message a shortlink than the entire address.
WP Yun also provides some insights (via a metabox on your edit post screen) as to how your link is being passed around. there is also a link to update shortlink and clicks statistics.
