Question 1

What metrics can I track for my short URLs?

Accepted Answer

You can track Total URLs, Active URLs, Clicks (Last 30 days), Top Device, Device Distribution, Top OS, recent short URL clicks (including IP and timestamp), Long URL, clicks per link, and created date for each short URL.

Question 2

How do you show Clicks for the Last 30 days?

Accepted Answer

The dashboard aggregates click events and displays time-filtered analytics; choose the Last 30 days filter to view total clicks, per-link clicks, and trends for that period, all computed from stored click events.

Question 3

What is Top Device and Device Distribution?

Accepted Answer

Top Device identifies the most common device type (mobile, desktop, tablet) used to click your short links, while Device Distribution shows the percentage split across devices to help you optimize content and landing pages.

Question 4

How do you determine Top OS for clicks?

Top OS is calculated from user agent parsing for click events and shows the most frequent operating systems (e.g., iOS, Android, Windows, macOS) among visitors clicking your short links.

Question 5

Do you store IP addresses for recent clicks and is that privacy compliant?

Accepted Answer

ShortURLs.pro records IP addresses for recent click records to offer security and fraud detection features; IP logging is handled securely, stored in salted/hashed form where required, and we provide privacy controls to comply with data protection regulations—please review our Privacy Policy for details and opt-out/export options.
