Create a short link and track its click statistics

The system creates a shortened link for you and reports back how many times it's been clicked.

How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

Long, ugly URLs are hard to share in emails, texts, or social posts, and you have no way to know if anyone actually clicked them. Tracking link performance usually means signing up for yet another tool.

Who it fits

Anyone who shares links regularly and wants a shorter link with basic click tracking.

How it works

  1. You provide a long URL you want to shorten
  2. The system generates a short link for it
  3. You request the statistics for that link at any time
  4. The system reports how many clicks it has received
What you get

Click counts for every link you share

You get a shorter link to share and can check anytime exactly how many people have clicked it.

What you get

A short, shareable link and a click count whenever you check it.

What you need

A YOURLS link-shortening account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
