Show HN: A WordPress plugin that detects affiliate links that don't convert

1•aflwp•1h ago
Hi HN,

I’ve been running affiliate sites for a while and kept running into the same problem: I could track clicks, but I had no clear way to tell which affiliate links were actually useful and which ones were wasting traffic.

Most WordPress affiliate plugins focus on link management or cloaking. This plugin looks at what happens after the click, using short-return bounces to identify links that send users to poor or misleading destinations.

It works with any affiliate program and runs locally on WordPress, keeping things lightweight and privacy-friendly.

This is a first stable release and I’m mainly looking for feedback from people who run content or affiliate sites.

Happy to answer questions.
