How do I edit or disable a link later?

When you create a link we show a one-time management token. Save it. Paste it into the My Links tab to edit the destination, disable the link, see click stats, or delete it. We only store a SHA-256 hash of the token — if you lose it, nobody can recover the link.

Yes. Every link counts clicks, with a simple last-7-days chart in My Links. Pair it with the built-in UTM Builder for channel-level attribution in Google Analytics or Plausible.

Why does the shortener block some URLs?

We refuse URLs that look like phishing vectors (unsupported schemes, embedded credentials, executable file extensions), URLs resolving to private or loopback IPs (SSRF), and chains that point at another shortener. If a destination gets reported 3 times it stops redirecting; at 5 reports we add the destination domain to our blocklist.

🔗 Creator Link Shortener

Q: Where do my short links live?

Every short link uses the go.creatoraihub.io domain, e.g. go.creatoraihub.io/abc123. We serve the redirect ourselves — no third-party shortener in the middle.

Short links on go.creatoraihub.io, with UTM tagging, safe link expansion, branded QR codes, bulk mode and click stats — built for creators, free, no signup.

🔒 Click stats and management tokens live only in your Cloudflare KV — nothing is sold or shared.

1. Creator preset

Presets prefill UTMs tuned for that channel — you can still edit them in the UTM Builder tab.

2. Destination URL

Full HTTPS destination

Custom alias (optional)

3–50 chars, lowercase a-z, 0-9, hyphens. Leave blank for a random 6-char alias.

Expiry (optional)

After this time, the short link stops redirecting.

I confirm this link complies with the Acceptable Use Policy — no phishing, malware, scams, impersonation or illegal content.

Expand any short link

Paste a short URL. We follow its redirect chain server-side (max 10 hops, SSRF-safe) and show the final destination before you open it.

URL to expand

Creator QR

Paste any URL (ideally your short go.creatoraihub.io/alias) to get a branded QR. For the full QR studio with logos, frames and bulk packs, see the Creator QR Generator.

URL to encode

The QR will appear here.

Bulk shortener

One URL per line, max 20 per batch. Each line is validated and rate-limited exactly like the single flow. Turnstile always runs in bulk mode.

URLs

I confirm every URL in this batch complies with the Acceptable Use Policy.

Manage one of your links

Paste the alias and the management token you were shown at creation. The token is required for every action — we only ever stored a SHA-256 hash of it.

How this shortener works

Short links use the go.creatoraihub.io subdomain — a dedicated Cloudflare Worker reads the alias from a shared KV store, checks status, expiry and blocklists, counts the click, and 302-redirects to your destination. The redirect page sets X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow, Cache-Control: no-store and Referrer-Policy: no-referrer, so links don't pollute search results or leak referrers.

Abuse protection

Pre-flight checks on every new destination: scheme, embedded credentials, control characters, dangerous file extensions, SSRF (private / loopback IPs), shortener-chain detection.
Rate limits: 10 single links per IP/hour, 30 per IP/day, 20 per bulk batch, 500 global links/day — enforced server-side via KV.
Cloudflare Turnstile on every create and report, always challenged for bulk.
Honeypot hidden field catches naive bots.
Auto-disable at 3 reports (status REPORTED → stops redirecting), auto-block at 5 (status BLOCKED, domain joins the blocklist).

Static vs tracked analytics

Short links track aggregate click counts per day in your My Links tab. For attribution inside Google Analytics / Plausible / Fathom, use the UTM Builder tab — it merges UTM params into the destination before we store it, so the correct source/medium/campaign reach your analytics on every click.

FAQ

Where do my short links live?+

All short links are served from go.creatoraihub.io by a Cloudflare Worker we run. No third-party shortener is in the middle.

What happens if I lose my management token?+

We only stored a SHA-256 hash of it — we cannot recover it. The link keeps redirecting (unless it's reported or expires), but you can't edit or delete it. Save the token in your password manager when you create the link.

Can I shorten a bit.ly or t.co URL?+

No — shortener-chaining is refused for safety. Use the Expand tab to see where the bit.ly link really goes, then shorten the final destination.

Do you follow robots.txt or crawl destinations?+

We send a single HEAD request at create time to confirm the URL responds. We don't crawl, scrape or cache content.
