You can construct the short links using other ways.

* site.com/link/123
* site.com/post/123
* site.com/id2post/123

* site.com/id2page/123?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video
If you want to redirect to posts/pages using example.com/123 (and running apache server) add this line to your .htaccess file.
RewriteRule ^/?([0-9]+)/?$ /link/$1 [QSA,L,R=302]
It will redirect and pass query parameters (if any).
We specifically didn’t include ‘go’ because lots of people are using it for affiliate links…
