Click tracking
A simple count that shows how many times your short link was opened.
Why use it
It tells you which links people actually click. That way you know what's working and what isn't.
Step by step
Open your short links
Go to your short links list. Each link sits on its own row.
Read the click count
Next to each link you'll see a number. That's how many times people have clicked it.
Compare your links
Look down the list and compare the numbers. The link with the biggest number is the one getting the most clicks.
TIP
Give it a little time. Clicks only show up after people start opening your link, so a brand-new link may still say 0.
Good to know
- The count goes up by one each time someone opens the link.
- The list also remembers the last time a link was clicked.
- For a fuller picture, like clicks per day, open the link's stats page.

For developers
Each redirect logs a click record with a timestamp, IP-derived country, referrer, device type, and a salted user-agent hash. Raw IPs are not stored.
click_count is incremented atomically per redirect and last_clicked_at is updated to the redirect time; both are denormalised for fast reads on the list view.
GET /api/v1/short-links/:slug/stats returns the aggregated time series for one link — clicks per day plus country, referrer, and device breakdowns.
