URL Short

Can I see how many clicks my short link got?

Not inside URL Short: the app does not track clicks. For links made with is.gd, v.gd or Bit.ly it opens that service's own public stats page with View Stats; for the other services, click numbers, if they exist, are only on the service's own dashboard.

Why the app cannot count your clicks

To count clicks, something has to sit between the short link and the page and log each visit. That something is the shortening service's redirect server. URL Short does not run one and does not put itself in the middle: your link goes straight from the service to your page.

That is good for privacy and speed, even without a stats dashboard. It also means the only place click numbers can exist is the service that made the link.

How to open a link's stats in the app

  1. Open History and tap the link.
  2. In the detail view, look for the Statistics URL. For is.gd, v.gd and Bit.ly it is filled in for you.
  3. Tap View Stats to open the service's page in the browser, or Copy Stats Link to keep it.
  4. For other services, you can paste your own link to the service's dashboard there, so it is one tap away next time.

If you see No statistics URL available, that service does not publish a stats page the app can reach.

What URL Short does count

Settings has a Statistics screen, but it is about your own use of the app, not your links' audience: how many links you created, QR codes exported, links shared and PDFs exported, over 7 days, 30 days or all time, and which services you used most.

Those counters are computed and kept on your device, and nothing goes to a server. Clear them with Reset Statistics, or copy them with Export Summary if you want a record before you do.

If you really need click tracking

  • Make the link with a keyed service whose account includes analytics, and read the numbers on its dashboard.
  • Or use is.gd or v.gd and check their public stats page for a simple count.
  • If you run the website, its own analytics can tell you how many visitors came from a link; add a tag to the long link before shortening it.

Questions and answers

Can I see is.gd stats for my link?
Yes. For any is.gd or v.gd link in your history, URL Short builds the address of that service's public stats page. Tap View Stats to open it.
Can I track clicks on a link for free?
is.gd and v.gd show basic stats on their public page at no cost, and URL Short opens it for you. Detailed analytics usually come with an account on a service such as Bit.ly or Rebrandly.
Does URL Short see who clicks my links?
No. The app is not part of the redirect and records no clicks, locations or devices.
