Free link analytics
built into every short URL
SendURL is a free link tracker: every short link you create tracks clicks automatically, with the country, device, browser and referrer of each one, and QR scans marked apart.
What SendURL tracks
Click data captured automatically with every redirect and every QR scan. No tags to install, no SDKs to configure.
Country of every click
See which country each click came from, from the visitor's IP address. SendURL records the country, not the city. Using click country and device data shows where it helps and where it misleads.
Device & browser per click
See each click's device, browser and operating system — mobile or desktop, Chrome or Safari, iOS or Android — to understand how your audience opens your links.
Referrer tracking
See the site each click came from, whenever the visitor's browser reports one. Email and chat apps often send none, so those clicks show no referrer.
QR scan tracking
Every link has its own QR code. Scans are logged like clicks and marked as QR scans, so scans can be told apart from taps on the link.
Click count & timeline
An exact click count on every link, with no sampling. Chart clicks over the last hour, day or week, down to 5-minute steps; charts refresh every few minutes. Free lists 7 days of analytics history, Pro 30.
Per-link & aggregate view
Drill into any individual link for full detail, or view analytics across all your links combined in one dashboard.
Who uses link analytics
Anyone who shares links can see how many clicks each one got, when and from where.
Marketing campaigns
Put a different short link in each channel, such as email, X and LinkedIn, and compare which drove the most clicks.
Newsletter tracking
See how many clicks each newsletter link got, and the device and country behind each one (security scanners can add clicks).
Social media posts
Track clicks across all your social channels with one dashboard. Compare performance without relying on platform-native analytics.
Content performance
Measure whether your blog posts, landing pages or product updates are getting clicks, from every place you share them.
Link analytics — frequently asked questions
What is link analytics?
Link analytics (also called URL analytics or link tracking) measures every click on a shared link: when it happened, which country it came from, the device, browser and operating system, and the referrer. SendURL provides free link analytics built into every short URL you create.
How is link analytics different from web analytics?
Web analytics (Google Analytics, Plausible) measures what visitors do after arriving on your website. Link analytics measures the click itself — before the visitor reaches your site. Link analytics works even if the destination page has no analytics installed, and it tracks links to any URL you don't own.
Is link analytics free on SendURL?
Yes. Link analytics is included on every SendURL plan, including Free. Every short link you create tracks clicks automatically at no cost. No plugins, no code, no credit card.
Can I track QR code scans?
Yes. Every SendURL link has its own QR code, and a scan is logged as a click marked as a QR scan, so you can tell scans apart from clicks on the link itself.
Does SendURL show the visitor's city?
No. SendURL records the country of each click, not the city.
How do I track clicks on a link?
Create a free SendURL account, paste your long URL, and share the short link you receive. From then on every click is logged in your dashboard with its country, device, browser and referrer.
Can I use link analytics without an account?
Partly. You can create a short link on the SendURL homepage without signing up and see its click count. Create a free account to keep the link, see each click's country, device, browser and referrer, and create up to 100 tracked short URLs.
