Frequently Asked Questions
Are my short links indexed by Google?
No. Redirect responses include X-Robots-Tag: noindex and robots.txt disallows crawling of /stats/ and dynamic endpoints.
Do you collect personal data?
We log the basics required to run statistics (timestamp, IP in binary, user-agent, referer). No third-party trackers or ads.
Can I create a custom alias?
Yes. Enter it when shortening. If it’s taken, we’ll suggest an alternative.
How do I edit or disable a link?
Create an account, then open your Dashboard to edit the target URL, change the slug, set an expiry, or enable/disable.
Do links use 301 or 302?
302 by default—best practice for shorteners so browsers don’t permanently cache the target. (Prevents surprises if you later change the destination.)
Is there an API?
Coming soon. We’ll provide API keys, quotas, and docs at /api.
Can I generate QR codes?
Planned. You’ll be able to create a QR PNG for any link from the dashboard.
