Honest analytics

The 98% you keep.
The 2% we remove.

Email security scanners click your links before recipients do. Uptime monitors hit them every minute. Truthylink identifies and removes these automatically — no configuration, no rules to write.

  • Email security scanner pre-clicks
  • Uptime & monitoring bots
  • Web crawlers and indexing spiders
  • VPN and data-center traffic

Generic short link

bit.ly/3xK9mQp

People don't know where this goes. Trust drops. Clicks drop.

Your branded link

truthylink.com/summer-sale

People know exactly where they're going. Trust builds. Clicks follow.

Custom slugs

Links that carry
your brand's name.

Random characters tell your audience nothing. A branded slug — /summer-sale instead of /3xK9mQp — builds trust before a single click.

Available on every plan, including Free. Get two auto-suggested alternatives if your slug is taken.

Security controls

Links that retire
on your schedule.

Promotional links should expire. Sensitive documents need passwords. Campaign links should stop after a set number of clicks. All of this is one toggle away.

Privacy-first analytics

Full analytics.
Zero cookies.

Every other link shortener plants cookies or runs JavaScript trackers to follow your visitors. Truthylink doesn't. All analytics are derived server-side from request headers — no cookie consent banner required.

  • No visitor ID cookie — ever
  • No JavaScript tracking pixel
  • IPs anonymised to /24 before storage
  • GDPR-native & India DPDP Act compliant
Built-in — no competitor offers these

Three features you won't find anywhere else.

Every competitor audited. None of them ship these. They're live in Truthylink today, on every plan.

Link Safety Scanner

Free

Every link is scanned against Google Safe Browsing the moment it's created. Visitors see a verified-safe badge or a warning before they arrive. No other shortener does this on every plan.

  • Real-time scan on create & update
  • Verified safe / Caution / Dangerous badge
  • Visitor interstitial with safety status

Destination Health

Pro+

We silently ping every destination URL daily. The moment your link goes 404, SSL expires, or load time spikes — you get alerted. Not when a customer complains. Before.

  • Daily health checks on all active links
  • Alert on 404, SSL expiry, slow response
  • Red indicator on affected links in dashboard

Click Fraud Detection

Free

Beyond basic bot filtering — we flag VPN/proxy clicks, repeat-clicker patterns, and data-center traffic. Every link shows a clean click rate so you know your numbers are real.

  • VPN, proxy & Tor exit node detection
  • Repeat-click & burst-click pattern flagging
  • Fraud rate % visible per link
