Turn long web links into clean short links, custom aliases and QR codes. Add UTM tags, expiry, click limits, password gates and privacy-first analytics—without forcing an account for basic shortening.
This attached file fully tests link creation and redirect rules locally. Public short URLs become globally resolvable only after the included OneFreePlace redirect backend is deployed.
Valid links receive collision-resistant random aliases. Invalid or duplicate lines are reported instead of silently discarded.
No account required. Anonymous links use a private management token so only their creator can edit them.
The production redirect service stores a permanent slug record. Use temporary redirects for editable destinations; temporary redirects keep later edits and limits effective.
Analytics can be aggregate-only, click-count-only, or disabled. Production unique-click estimates can use rotating keyed fingerprints instead of storing raw IP addresses.
Dangerous URL schemes are rejected, reserved aliases are protected, anonymous creation is rate-limited, management tokens are hashed server-side, and deleted aliases are never recycled.
