Frequently asked questions
How does this URL shortener work?
Paste your long URL, optionally choose a custom short slug, and click Shorten URL. You get a short link on setupawebsite.co.uk/go/your-slug that redirects to the original page.
Is this URL shortener free?
Yes, completely free. No account or signup required.
Can I choose a custom short link?
Yes. Enter a custom slug (3–30 characters, letters, numbers, and hyphens) before clicking Shorten URL. If you leave it blank, a random short code is generated.
Do short links expire?
Short links remain active unless removed. We keep the most recent 500 links on the server.
What type of redirect do short links use?
Short links use a 301 permanent redirect to the original URL.
