If you don't have a branded domain, you can buy one through Short.io. No configuration needed — the domain will be automatically activated and ready to use.

How can I forward my short domain to another website?

The "Main page redirect" option routes visitors from your short domain to any webpage. If users visit the short branded domain (e.g., shortdomain.com), they will be redirected to the specified page. This is very useful if you want to redirect visitors to your main website.

How to run an A/B test?

A/B testing evaluates the performance of two variants of a web page. With Short.io, you can test which version of a web page performs better. When clicking a short link, a pre-specified percentage of users will be redirected to the original page, the other — to the variation page.

Is it possible to build an application that uses Short.io?

Yes, you can use the Short.io API to integrate the shortening features to your application.

A link with UTM parameters is too long. You can shorten the already UTM-coded link or add UTM parameters to a destination URL straight on Short.io. UTM tags serve detailed information about traffic sources, e.g., determine which social network is the most popular among your users.

How can I apply password protection?

With 'Password protection', you can limit access to your website. After users click on a short protected link, they have to enter a correct password to reach the content.

What do statistics metrics mean?

Short.io provides detailed statistics that fit your tracking needs. See which links perform best, when your audience is most active, geographic breakdowns, device types, and referral sources.
