Understanding click counts

How tallies work for registered short links.

Updated 4 min read

Each successful follow of /r/{code} increments that link’s click count for registered links shown in My URLs.

Counts are a lightweight signal. They help you see which shares get used; they are not a full analytics product with funnels or attribution models.

Click tallies sit beside each signed-in short link.

Reading the numbers

Treat tallies as directional. Automated scanners, preview bots, and curious reloads can occasionally inflate a count.

Click counts do not change how the redirect works. Recipients still receive a clean redirect with a no-referrer policy to your https destination.

Compare counts across links you own in My URLs.

If a count looks wrong

  • Confirm you are viewing the correct short code in My URLs.
  • Confirm recipients used the /r/ URL, not a pasted long destination.
  • Expect occasional bumps from preview bots and mail scanners.

We do not add QR dashboards or third-party tracking pixels to the redirect itself. Keep the redirect quiet; measure with the tools that already fit your workflow when you need more.
