Free plan termsTap to view detailsTap to hide
- Links last 1 day from the moment they are created. After that they stop working (an "expired" page is shown) and cannot be extended.
- 5 links per 1 day (counted by IP). Uses come back one at a time as each link becomes older than 1 day.
- Expired links are permanently deleted 7 days after creation and cannot be recovered.
- Free links cannot have a custom alias or click statistics. For those, contact us.
Link safety policyTap to view detailsTap to hide
- Only links that start with https:// are accepted.
http://links are refused. - The link must use a real domain name: no IP addresses, custom ports, or usernames/passwords inside the address.
- Domains on our banned-domain list (and all their subdomains) are refused. This includes other link shorteners (such as bit.ly), so the real destination cannot be hidden, and our own domain. The list can be updated live without restarting the service.
- Addresses inside private networks, such as localhost or private IPs, are refused.
- The destination of a free link cannot be changed after it is created. Visitors always land on the same page until the link expires.
- Links reported as unsafe may be disabled right away. Report them at info@debugdevelop.com.
- Limitation: we do not scan the destination page for malware or content, so passing these checks is not a guarantee that the destination website is safe.

When VIP is cancelled, your links expire within 3 days (adjustable by the administrator), so links do not live on forever without a paying owner.
In-depth analytics for VIP: know who clicked from where
All of this is captured the moment someone opens your link. Nothing to install on the destination site, and nobody is personally identified.
When people click
See the busiest days and hours, and the best time to post in your local time.
Country / province (approximate)
Know where your audience is, at country and province level, not an exact location.
Network operator (ASN)
Tell real people from bots and data centres by the network they use.
Device · OS · browser
Phone or computer, iPhone or Android, Chrome or Safari.
Which app opened it
LINE, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and more: see which channel brings the most people.
Referring site or app
From the Referer when present (most apps strip it, so it is often empty), complemented by the app data above.
Visitor language
Thai, English, Chinese and so on: helps you decide on multi-language landing pages.
Campaigns (UTM)
Which post or influencer brought people, and compare them across several links.
Human or bot
Keep fake numbers, such as LINE or Facebook preview scanners, out of your real-visitor count.
Unusual-activity alerts
Hours with an abnormal click spike or a bot flood are pointed out for you.
QR code
Create a QR code from the short link to save and share (SVG or PNG file).
CSV export

Province-level location and ASN depend on the operator enabling the location databases.
Coming soon Roadmap
- A/B tests: randomly send people to several destinations and compare the results
- Conversion: attach a click_id so a shop can post back whether the visitor bought or signed up, giving a conversion rate per link
- Affiliate: count clicks and commission per link
- Retargeting pixels: only with a consent flow that complies with PDPA
Privacy and PDPA
We designed this to give you useful data without violating the privacy of the people who click.
What we collect (anonymous)
- The time of the click
- A hash of the IP that changes every day (never the real IP)
- Approximate country / province
- Device type, OS, browser and the app that opened the link
- Browser language, referrer and UTM parameters
What we do not do
- We do not identify names, phone numbers or social profiles of visitors
- No cross-site tracking cookies and no fingerprinting (such as screen size or time zone)
- No exact location
- No retargeting pixels without consent
This site sets no cookies and uses no third-party analytics or advertising tools. The only thing stored is the list of links you just shortened, kept in your own browser (localStorage) for convenience; it is never sent to us and clears when you clear site data. · Link owners who use the statistics further should have a privacy policy of their own. See the data we collect in the policy above.
What is a short link?
A short link shrinks a long URL into just a few characters, such as https://shortraffe.com/sale. When someone opens it, they are taken straight to the original page. That makes it easy to share in chats, social media, email or print, looks clean, and above all lets you count every click so you know which campaign really works.
Shortraffe features
Short links + custom alias
Generate a short code automatically, or choose your own alias that is easy to remember and matches your brand.
Detailed click analytics
Total clicks, approximate unique visitors, bot share, and charts by hour, day or week.
Know where clicks come from
Break down by country, device, browser, operating system, referrer and UTM (source, medium, campaign).
Expiry and click limits
Set an expiry date or a maximum number of clicks. Ideal for time-limited promotions.
Fast and lightweight
Popular links are answered from memory without waiting for the database, so visitors never feel a delay.
Secure and private
Raw IPs are never stored (only a hash that rotates daily), unsafe destinations are filtered, and click data can be exported as CSV.
How it works
Paste your long link
Enter the destination URL and optionally choose an alias, expiry date or click limit.
Share the short link
Use it in posts, ads, chats, emails or offline material.
See the results
Check clicks over time, by country, device and campaign, then tune your strategy.
Who is it for?
Marketers & page admins
Measure every channel and campaign with UTM parameters.
Online shops
Send short, memorable product and promotion links that can expire on schedule.
Developers & tech teams
A JSON API (GET and POST only) with Bearer-token authentication to create links and pull analytics into your own systems.
Frequently asked questions
What is a short link?
A compact URL that stands in for a long one. Opening it sends the visitor to the original page instantly, and every click can be counted.
How does Shortraffe handle visitor data?
Raw IP addresses are never stored. Only a hash that changes every day is kept, together with device, browser, country and referrer data, so analytics respect privacy (PDPA-friendly).
Can a link expire or have a click limit?
Yes. Once the expiry date or the maximum number of clicks is reached, the link stops working immediately.
Is there an API for developers?
Yes, a JSON API that uses only HTTP GET and POST with Bearer-token authentication. Contact us for access details.
What is the difference between Member and VIP?
Members can create a set number of links with random codes that last 30 days, and can see click counts. VIP adds your own alias (if it is free), custom expiry or permanent links, QR codes and in-depth analytics. VIP has several levels that differ in how many links you can create.
What happens to my links if I cancel VIP?
Links that were permanent or longer-lived will expire within 3 days of cancelling, giving you time to move to new links.
Is collecting visitor data compatible with PDPA?
We only collect anonymous data: no real IPs, no cross-site tracking and no fingerprinting. See the privacy section above.
