Superpowers
Four things your shortener should've done all along.
Real Human vs. Bot Traffic
Automatically detects Twitterbot, Slackbot, LinkedIn previews, and scrapers so your analytics reflect actual buyer intent, not crawler pings.
Smart UTM Passthrough
Incoming utm_* and ad parameters are forwarded untouched to the destination, or fall back to your campaign defaults.
Social OpenGraph Overrides
Customize the preview image, title, and description for any shared link so your cards look stunning everywhere.
Expiration & Fallback Rerouting
Set an end date for launch or Black Friday promos. Expired clicks route to an evergreen page instead of a dead 404.
