Know where every link lands before you share it
Short links, partner URLs, QR destinations, and campaign landing pages should be checked before they reach an audience. Link Inspector previews the destination, traces redirects, checks SSL and metadata, and helps teams catch obvious trust issues before launch.

Inspect links before publishing
Review destination status, SSL validity, suspicious patterns, and page availability before a URL is used in email, paid campaigns, QR material, or customer-facing docs.
Trace each redirect hop from the submitted URL to the final landing page so unexpected chains, changed destinations, or security downgrades are easier to spot.
Check title, description, screenshot, and social preview metadata so shared links do not appear broken, misleading, or off-brand.

See where links land before sharing
Inspecting a link is a low-cost review step before a high-visibility mistake. Use it when a link came from a partner, redirects through several systems, will be printed as a QR code, or points to a landing page that changed recently.
Run an inspectionCatch suspicious redirects
Redirect chains can hide stale tracking links, region-specific hops, unexpected domains, or insecure downgrade behavior. Link Inspector makes the path visible so teams can decide whether to fix the destination, update the short link, or pause the asset before publishing.

Metadata matters because many channels create previews automatically. A missing title, outdated description, broken image, or misleading page preview can reduce trust even when the final URL technically loads.

What does Link Inspector check?
Link Inspector checks public http:// and https:// URLs for destination status, redirect path, SSL signals, social preview metadata, and obvious page quality signals that matter before sharing.
Can I inspect links before they go live?
Yes. Inspect the public destination before launch, especially for campaign URLs, partner links, QR destinations, and pages that will appear in paid media or printed material.
Does Link Inspector work with external URLs?
Yes. It can inspect public external URLs and short links even if they were not created with ShortURL.bot, as long as the destination can be reached from the public web.
Is the inspection data stored?
This page fetches current inspection results when you run a check. It is intended for live review rather than a saved inspection archive.
Need AI commentary or higher limits?
Use Link Inspector as a pre-publish checkpoint: confirm the destination, review the redirects, check the preview, and fix the link before an audience sees it.
