Sometimes you might want to check a short link for it's destination before clicking on it. Additional you get information about the redirects.

Use the magic + at the end of the short url!

Bitly privacy reminders:

  • Disable the public statistics for short urls. You don't want to spy other companies on your social media throughput.
  • Never short secret links in bitly, as they are connected to your public bitly profile. And your public profile is accessible through every short link from you.
