Link Shortener FAQ
Thanks for installing Link Shortener. This page covers the questions I hear most often about the extension.
What Services Does Link Shortener Support?
It supports T.LY, TinyURL, Bitly, is.gd, Cuttly, Rebrandly, and other providers depending on the extension version.
Can I Use My Own API Keys?
Yes. You can add your own API keys for supported services like T.LY, Rebrandly, and Bitly from the options page inside the extension.
Can I Use My Own Custom Domain?
Yes. If you use a provider that supports custom domains, such as T.LY or Rebrandly, you can use that domain through the extension once it is configured in the provider account.
Is There A Keyboard Shortcut?
Yes. You can assign a browser shortcut for Link Shortener. This guide explains how to set browser extension keyboard shortcuts.
Can I Right-Click A Link To Shorten It?
Yes. The extension adds a context-menu option so you can shorten links without opening the main popup first.
What If One Provider Fails?
If a provider fails to shorten a link, the extension can fall back to another supported shortener depending on your settings.
Does It Still Support Goo.gl?
No. Google shut down the Goo.gl shortener years ago, so it is no longer available for creating new short links.
How Do I View Stats For A Short URL?
That depends on the shortener you used. For T.LY links, you can view analytics from your T.LY account or through the stats tools the service provides.
