Short URL Safety Checklist Before You Share

Short URLs are convenient, but the compact address may hide the final destination. Use this checklist before publishing an important link.

Safety checklist

• Confirm the final destination is correct.
• Prefer an HTTPS destination.
• Open the short link yourself before sharing it.
• Use an honest, descriptive alias.
• Never place passwords or sensitive data in a public URL.
• Review sharing permissions for private resources.
• Be cautious with unexpected shortened links from strangers.

For campaign links

Keep a record of the original destination and test important links after changes. A short URL should make sharing easier, not make the destination deceptive.
