Shortcomings[edit] Short URLs often circumvent the intended use of top-level domains for indicating the country of origin; domain registration in many countries requires proof of physical presence within that country, although a redirected URL has no such guarantee. For example: This will redirect users to mylandingpage.com if and only if their device isn’t supported by the app store to which the tracker points.

Google has possibly started this process for you but the tracking code must be updated on your website pages. WordPress links have the structure they do, which is longer, because they’re meant to be permanent and portable. (And of course friendly to search engines.)
