Recommend 5 stable short URL services

Aiba specially selects six "short URL" services. These services have been in operation for quite a long time. Some are even free services provided by large companies. We believe that they can provide you with the safest, fastest and permanently reliable short URL.

1. Goo.gl

Website link: http://goo.gl/
Extension: Chrome | Firefox | Bookmarklet
This is a very commonly seen short URL . It is also a URL Shortener operated by Google . It can be used without registration, or you can directly log in to your Google account. The shortened URL will appear in your records, making it easier to manage and query data later. The generated URL can only be hidden, cannot be deleted, and cannot be edited again.
Goo.gl provides analysis reports for users' reference. After logging in, click Details after Short URL to query. The report will show the total number of clicks, QR Code, source, country, browser used, and platform.
2. Bitly
Website link: https://bitly.com/
Extension: Chrome | Bookmarklet
Bit.ly is a URL shortening service that I personally like very much. I really like its website design, the speed, the functionality, and the complete third-party tools . It also provides Chrome browser extensions, a bookmark bar quick URL shortening tool, and the ability to create URL shorteners via email from mobile phones and tablets. Bitly once became Twitter's default URL shortening service.
After opening the Bitly website, you can choose whether to register for a free account, or directly paste the URL in the upper right corner and click Shorten to create a shortened URL.
Bitly also provides reports, which are easier to use. Just add a + sign after the short URL to view the usage of the URL. It can display the total number of clicks, QR Code, creation time, number of clicks per hour, places shared, and the country of origin.
3. X.co
Website link: http://x.co/
Extension: Bookmarklet
X.co is a URL shortening service provided by the well-known company GoDaddy. The reason for including this service in this article is that the links generated by X.co are very short, and its original domain name is also a rare single character. For friends who pursue "extremely short URLs", it can indeed meet your needs.
X.co provides QR Code and statistical reports, but you must have a GoDaddy account to log in to use them. Although you can register for a free account, the process is a bit cumbersome (there is a lot of information to fill in). If you don’t really need to see statistical data, then there is no need to register. In addition, X.co provides registered users with the function of "customizing the URL", which means that they can set the string after X.co.
4. Y.ahoo.it
Website link: http://y.ahoo.it/
Yahoo! URL shortening service generates a short URL of y.ahoo.it, which is quite unique, but it has no statistical data function and can only choose whether to let users preview the link before redirection.

5. McAf.ee

Website link: http://mcaf.ee/
McAfee is often jokingly called "McAfee", I believe everyone has heard of it, right? That’s right, this is a shortened URL service launched by a well-known antivirus software manufacturer. It uses Mcaf.ee as its URL, allowing users to help expose its brand name when sharing the URL. It is really an amazing marketing technique.
McAf.ee’s main feature is “ safe short URLs ”, which means it has the function of scanning whether the link is safe. This trick cleverly combines the short URLs it provides with the company’s own services. I think it’s so powerful that I have to put it on the list. I have written an article introducing it before. McAf.ee comes from McAfee, a safer URL shortening service .
