Paste a short link you received and see, before clicking, where it really goes, how many redirects it passes through and whether anything deserves caution.
Make your own links trustworthy too
Links created with kisa.tr pass an abuse screen and carry your brand: kisa.tr/your-brand.
Enter a short address from bit.ly, t.co, tinyurl, kisa.tr or any other service. Regular long URLs can be checked too.
kisa.tr follows the redirects on your behalf and lists every address along the way. Your browser never visits any of them.
Review the final destination, its domain and the warnings. If it leads somewhere you do not recognise, do not click.
Short links are everywhere: in text-message campaigns, social posts and the QR codes on posters. They also raise a fair question: where does this link actually go? This guide explains why shortened URLs cause concern, what the real risks are, how to check a link before you click, and what kisa.tr does as a platform to keep abuse out.
URL shortening turns a long, cluttered web address into a compact link that is easy to share, say out loud, or print. When someone clicks the short link they are sent straight to the original page, and every click can be counted along the way. This guide explains how short links work, where they earn their keep, and how to create one with kisa.tr, with or without an account.
