What MasterRotator is
MasterRotator is a paid, self-hosted WordPress plugin for routing outbound URLs among multiple destinations. A custom slug can send visitors to up to 10 destination URLs using sequential or random rotation. Its Pro dashboard tracks clicks, unique visitors, daily summaries, and top-performing URLs. Per-user cookies can keep visitors assigned to the same destination on later visits. The plugin runs inside WordPress, and its maker says it does not depend on external APIs or tracking libraries. It is described as compatible with caching plugins, SEO tools, and most funnel builders. Setup requires uploading and activating the plugin, then configuring a slug and destination URLs; coding is not required, according to the maker. MasterRotator targets marketers, funnel builders, affiliate managers, product owners, and agencies. Purchases are generally final after access, with narrow exceptions at the maker’s discretion.
