Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: How long is the short link valid?
- A: The short links generated by this tool are valid for a fixed period of 10 days. After 10 days, the short link will automatically expire and can no longer redirect to the original target URL.
- Q: What input formats are supported?
- A: Currently, only a complete URL address with HTTP or HTTPS protocol is supported as the target URL. Other input formats are not supported.
- Q: What is the format of the output result?
- A: The tool will directly display the generated short link in a list format on the page, making it easy for you to view and copy.
- Q: Will the generated short link be permanently valid?
- A: No. A core feature of this tool is that short links are only valid for 10 days. They will become inaccessible after expiration, so please be mindful of the validity period.
Notes
- Please ensure that the "Target URL" you enter is a complete, accurate, and accessible valid link. Incorrect URLs will result in the generated short link not redirecting properly.
- The short links generated by this tool are valid for 10 days. Please use and share them within the validity period. The link will expire after this period.
- Do not use this tool to generate links that point to illegal, non-compliant, malicious, or infringing content. All generation activities must comply with relevant laws and regulations.
- It is recommended to copy and save the short link immediately after generation to prevent loss of results due to page refresh or closing.
Short Link Generation Principle
The working principle of a short link generator typically involves mapping a longer URL string to a short, unique string using specific algorithms (such as hashing, encoding, etc.). The correspondence between this short string and the original long URL is stored in the server's database. When a user clicks or accesses this short link, the server automatically redirects the user (usually an HTTP 301 or 302 redirect) to the original target long URL based on the mapping in the database. This mechanism not only shortens the link length but also facilitates click statistics and management.
Why Choose a 10-Day Validity Period?
Setting a 10-day validity period is based on several considerations:
- Resource Optimization: Limiting the lifespan of short links can effectively manage server resources, preventing the accumulation of a large number of long-term inactive link data in the database.
- Enhanced Security: For sharing time-sensitive or sensitive information, short-term links can reduce the risk of information leakage. Once the link expires, the external access path is cut off.
- Adaptation to Short-Term Promotions: Many marketing campaigns, temporary announcements, or limited-time offers have clear time limits. A 10-day validity period perfectly matches these short-term promotion needs, eliminating the need for users to manually manage link expiration times.
- Avoid "Dead Links": Long-existing short links may become "dead links" due to changes or deletions of original website content. A short validity period mechanism can effectively reduce the occurrence of such problems, maintaining a healthy link ecosystem.
