Remove Shortlink

The shortlink is a simplified URL of your post. It is not exactly a short URL as it makes use of your domain name and the post ID to create the URL that may not be any shorter than the permalink. This module disables the shortlink and prevents it from showing up in your site.

Activate the Remove Shortlink Module

In the Admin Optimizer page, click to enable the Remove Shortlink module. Press Save Changes to save the changes.
