Q: Geo Redirection
Dear LinkCentral Team,
I am interested in LinkCentral for managing affiliate links on my multilingual WordPress site (using MultiLipi with subdomains like fr.domain.com).
My key need: one central link (e.g. domain.com/go/product) should redirect visitors to different external affiliate URLs depending on their country, e.g. DE → affiliate-link-de.com, FR → affiliate-link-fr.com, US → affiliate-link-us.com, with a fallback for all others.
Could you confirm if the Pro version fully supports geo-targeted redirects by country for external links? And does it work independently of subdomains (purely IP-based)? Also, how is the setup handled, and are there any known issues with caching or performance?
This feature is crucial for us. Thank you for clarifying!

Your setup with a central link (e.g., domain.com/go/product) will work exactly as described: LinkCentral detects the visitor’s country via IP and redirects them to the appropriate affiliate URLs, with a fallback for all other countries.
Geo-detection can use either Cloudflare (if your site runs behind it, LinkCentral can use their IP-based geolocation) or MaxMind GeoIP (free to use, with full instructions in our documentation).
This works independently of subdomains, as long as users are directed to the central link because it handles the redirect logic. Redirects are optimized, with minimal impact on performance. If using aggressive caching, make sure your LinkCentral URLs (e.g., /go*) are excluded, though we haven’t seen any issues so far.
In short, your setup will work perfectly. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like any support or further guidance.
