🔥 Link Pages: Update & share your content on Social Media

Moreover, we are the best plugin to create your own link page or link in bio page for social media – within your own WordPress site!

🕵 Tracking Codes: Place tracking codes and scripts (e.g. Analytics)

ClickWhale also offers you the possibility to embed any tracking codes or code snippets directly on your website without having to intervene in the code of your website.

Place all the codes and snippets you need! – For example: Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Google Conversion Tracking – simply all the codes you need!
Output the code snippet only where you want it to go – Determine whether the code should apply to the entire website or all pages or posts, or only to specific content such as individual posts, categories and so on.
Exclude User Roles – The code snippet should not be executed for certain user roles of your website? No problem! Set that yourself!

From now on, you don’t need a third-party service, you save on monthly subscriptions and have full control. All this, on your own domain. Brilliant, isn’t it?
