Question 1

Why should I shorten my links before sharing them on social media?

Accepted Answer

A short link is easier to paste into posts, bios, and messages. Long addresses can wrap or look cluttered. This tool does not guarantee higher click-through rates.

Question 2

Do shortened URLs expire?

Accepted Answer

Only if you set an expiration in days when you create the link. If you leave that field empty, no expiry date is stored and the redirect keeps working until the record is removed. There is no delete button on this page.

Question 3

Is there a limit to how many links I can shorten?

Accepted Answer

There is no login, paid plan, or form field that caps how many links you create. Custom codes must be unused. The service can still fail if the database is unavailable.

Question 4

Is my original URL private?

Accepted Answer

No. The original URL, short code, optional expiration, and click count are stored on the server so redirects can work. Do not shorten secret or credential-bearing links you would not store with a host.
