SleekView for Pretty Links
Pretty Links stores cloaked URLs as a custom post type and writes every redirect into wp_prli_clicks. SleekView joins both tables so each link and its 30-day click totals sit in one row instead of two separate admin screens.

Pretty Links splits links and clicks across tables
Pretty Links keeps each cloaked URL as a custom post type with destination, slug, redirect type, and category metadata. Click activity goes into wp_prli_clicks with timestamps, IP rows, and unique-visit flags. The plugin's reports area summarizes clicks per link, but the report is a separate screen from the link list, and reconciling per-link performance against link health (broken redirects, slow vendors) means jumping between tabs.
SleekView reads both the CPT and the click table in a single query and renders one row per Pretty Link with 30-day click count, unique-click rate, last-click timestamp, and computed health label. Inline edits to destinations or labels write back through the Pretty Links update path, so any add-on listening for link saves still fires. The wp_prli_clicks table remains read-only from this view.
That layout makes weekly reviews fast. The newsletter signup link at 1,402 clicks and 78% unique rate sits at the top, the slow webinar replay at 92 clicks and 44% unique (suggesting bot or refresh inflation) sits in the middle, and the broken /go/pdf2024 at zero clicks sits at the bottom. One sortable view replaces the report-and-link-list pivot.

Features
What SleekView gives you for Pretty Links
Link plus clicks
Joins the Pretty Link CPT with wp_prli_clicks for a sortable view with 30-day click totals, unique rates, and last-click timestamps next to each slug.
Broken alerts
Color-coded health column flags slow or broken redirects from the latest stored response, surfacing dead PDF links and slow vendor URLs without manual checks.
Performance sort
Order links by 30-day clicks descending to find the URLs worth promoting more, or by unique rate to surface bot-heavy traffic that needs investigation.
Audience
Where Pretty Links pros use SleekView
Affiliate audit
Pinpoint affiliate links earning the most clicks each month and double down by adding them to more posts. The 30-day rollup beside the link makes reviews quick.
Broken cleanup
Filter to broken links, edit the destination URL inline, and move on. No drilling into each Pretty Link post or running a third-party link checker on a schedule.
Editor handoff
Export under-performing links (under 50 clicks for 90 days) so writers know which ones to swap for current vendors before the next content refresh.
The bigger picture
Why short-link portfolios need active management
Cloaked links rot. A vendor changes their landing-page slug, an affiliate program ends, a webinar replay URL gets removed, and your /go/pdf2024 starts redirecting to a 404. Pretty Links collects everything you need to spot the rot: redirect responses, click counts, unique rates, last-click dates.
The data just lives across two admin screens that nobody opens together. For sites with hundreds of cloaked links built up over years of newsletters, podcasts, and affiliate posts, the result is silent decay where dead links keep getting clicked but nothing happens, and slow vendors degrade the user experience without anyone noticing. SleekView puts links and clicks in one row, so the weekly five-minute review becomes 'sort by clicks descending, scan for surprises, filter to broken health, fix.' Unique-click rate flags abuse patterns (a webinar at 44% unique often means something is hammering the redirect).
Top performers surface for promotion. The portfolio stops being a write-once collection and becomes an active asset that earns more each quarter rather than less.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView for Pretty Links
No. Pretty Links' built-in reports keep working unchanged. SleekView complements them with a sortable, filterable WP Admin table that joins the CPT with the click table in a single view, which the native UI never does. Use whichever fits the task; many teams use both side by side.
Yes. Pro features like keyword auto-linking, link splits, and category-based redirects add fields to the same Pretty Link CPT and config tables. SleekView surfaces those as columns automatically, so you can filter by keyword links, sort by split A/B variant, or audit category-based redirects without extra setup.
Yes. Inline edits write back to the Pretty Link CPT through standard wp_update_post calls, so any add-on hooked into Pretty Links' save events still fires (URL canonicalization, cloak-type recalculation, keyword index updates). The wp_prli_clicks table is read-only from SleekView.
Yes. Pretty Links categories are a custom taxonomy, so they surface as a filter column in the table. Group rows by category to audit one program (affiliate, newsletter, podcast, internal) at a time without switching screens or building a custom WP_Query in the admin.
Yes. Filtered views export to CSV with link ID, slug, destination, label, 30-day clicks, unique-click rate, last-click timestamp, and health. Common exports: monthly affiliate review, broken-link cleanup list for editors, top performers for promotion, or a full snapshot for marketing planning.
No. SleekView only renders inside WP Admin and never intercepts the redirect path that visitors hit. Pretty Links' redirect controller and wp_prli_clicks logging keep running unchanged, so front-end performance is identical to running Pretty Links alone.
Yes. Pretty Links stores redirect type (301, 302, 307, cloak, frame) in post meta. SleekView surfaces it as a filterable column so you can audit which links use which redirect type, useful before a SERP review or to find legacy 302s that should be 301 for SEO equity.
Deleting a Pretty Link via SleekView calls wp_delete_post, firing the same hooks the native delete uses. Whether wp_prli_clicks rows are cascaded depends on Pretty Links' settings; SleekView doesn't override that behavior, so existing cleanup logic in the plugin or your code continues to apply unchanged.
