Frequently Asked Questions

Are the shortened URLs permanent?

Yes, your custom short links are permanent by default. However, you can optionally set an expiration date for temporary campaigns or time-limited promotions.

How do I track clicks and analytics for my short link?

Easily track your link performance! Simply navigate to the "Track Analytics" tab on this page, enter your short code, and view real-time data on total clicks, device types, referrers, and UTM performance.

Is the password protection secure?

Absolutely. Password protection adds a robust security layer. When a user clicks your link, they encounter an interstitial page and must enter the correct password before being securely redirected to the destination URL.

Can I customize the generated QR code?

Yes! Our dynamic QR code generator allows you to specify a custom HEX color code to perfectly align the QR code with your brand guidelines.

What is the difference between 301, 302, and 307 redirects?

A 301 redirect is permanent and passes SEO authority to the destination. A 302 redirect is temporary and is recommended for general use. A 307 redirect is also temporary but strictly preserves the HTTP method (e.g., POST) during the redirect.

Does this URL shortener support UTM tagging?

Yes, our built-in UTM builder allows you to seamlessly append utm_source, utm_medium, and utm_campaign parameters to your destination URL, ensuring accurate tracking in tools like Google Analytics.
