Frequently asked questions
URL shortener with click analytics — what does that mean?
A URL shortener with analytics does two things: it converts a long URL into a short, shareable link, and it records data about every click on that link. Basic analytics means just a click count. Advanced analytics — like Alshorty Pro provides — means country-level breakdown, device and browser stats, referrer tracking, UTM campaign grouping, period-over-period comparison, and CSV export.
Why you need link analytics
Without analytics, a short link is just a redirect. With analytics, it becomes a measurement tool. You can see which marketing channels drive the most traffic, which countries your audience is in, whether your mobile-optimised landing page is actually getting mobile visitors, and whether a campaign is growing or shrinking. Alshorty makes this available from $0/month — compared to $8/month on Bitly with far fewer dimensions and no UTM grouping on core tiers.
Analytics for Link-in-Bio and SmartPages too
Alshorty analytics isn't just for short links. Pro users also get analytics for their Link-in-Bio pages (views, per-link clicks, CTR, device breakdown, top countries) and SmartPages (total views, unique visitors, CTA click rate, form submissions, referrers). One Pro plan. One dashboard. Analytics across everything.
