Hopgo

Free plan Extension

What Hopgo is

Hopgo is a free, open-source branded URL shortener that runs through a user’s Cloudflare account. Its Chrome extension shortens the page in the current tab and allows the link slug to be edited. Hopgo can deploy a redirect Worker and configure DNS for a Cloudflare-managed domain, or use a free workers.dev subdomain. The dashboard supports searching, sorting, bulk deletion, expiry dates, click counts, and a custom destination for unknown slugs. Link records and click totals remain in the user’s Cloudflare KV namespace, while redirects run from a Worker in that account. Hopgo communicates with Cloudflare to manage Workers, KV, routes, zones, and DNS. Cloudflare login uses OAuth with PKCE, and the token stays in the browser. The MIT-licensed project lists a free plan at no cost. A free Cloudflare account and Chrome are required.
