Find answers to common questions and learn how to get the most out of LinkTrap

Getting Started

Creating a short link is simple:

  1. Enter your long URL in the "Target URL" field on the homepage
  2. Optionally, create a custom slug for easier remembering
  3. Click "Create Short Link"
  4. Copy your new short link and share it anywhere!

You can create short links without an account, but having an account gives you access to advanced features like analytics, link management, custom domains, and API access.

With an account, you can access detailed analytics including click counts, geographic data, device information, referrer sources, and click-over-time charts. Visit your dashboard to view all your link statistics.

Features & Functionality

Our advanced bot detection system automatically identifies and filters out automated traffic, giving you more accurate analytics. It can detect:

  • Search engine crawlers
  • Social media bots
  • Automated scripts and tools
  • Suspicious clicking patterns

You can also create separate "bot pages" to show different content to search engines and social media crawlers.
