URL Shorteners Overview
What are URL Shorteners?
Link or URL shortening tools are used to create shorter and easier-to-read URLs that redirect to a webpage. The shortened link is useful for social media networks where the number of characters is limited such as Twitter.
Link shortening tools also provide analytics and click tracking on the shortened links. Many social media management software products provide link shortening functionality natively and/or integrate with standalone link shortening tools.
