Why do we need URL shortening?

URL shortening is used to create shorter aliases for long URLs. We call these shortened aliases “short links.” Users are redirected to the original URL when they hit these short links. Short links save a lot of space when displayed, printed, messaged, or tweeted. Additionally, users are less likely to mistype shorter URLs.

Splash Pages

Bridg.li automatically creates dedicated page for media URLs such as Youtube, Vine, Dailymotion, etc . Users can create a custom splash page 

Bundles & Link Rotator

The bundle feature allows you to regroup some links and will generate you a special link where you will be able to send that to people. That special link will allow them to see all links in the bundle and use them.

Links Rotator

This feature allows a bundle to act as a rotator. The special link will rotate links randomly and will send the user to short link within the bundle.

Team Feature

The team feature allows you to invite members to your group and operate the same account as a team. This is perfect for collaboration! To use this feature, the team leader must invite users and users will need to accept the invitation via email and create an account. Once the account has been created, members can access the same environment as a team member.

URL Bookmarking System with Bookmarklet

URLs are automatically associated to registered users and are saved on their account for future access. Users can drag a bookmarklet tool to their bookmarks bar and instantaneously shorten the URL of the site they are viewing.

Tracking

The system will track users on its own and log data in the database. 

Caching

We offer caching of data. The caching is set to 15 minutes so the same information will be displayed for users for 15 minutes. 

Geotargeting System

Users can choose to redirect visitors to a different page using their location.

Advanced API System

Powerful API system requires users to authenticate using a unique API key associated to them upon registration. All URLs generated by a registered user get automatically saved on their account. The API system can output in JSON, JSONP (useful when requesting using javascript) or text format.

URL Validation & reCaptcha Plugin

Extensive validation and URL filtering-system gives us peace of mind. Several options are built-in to automatically disable “inappropriate” URLs or domain names (including tlds) from being processed by the system. We al use reCaptcha and SolveMedia Captcha.

Security

We use some of the most advanced algorithms to keep user accounts safe and your URLs phish-free.  Passwords are hashed using the phpPass library which is currently one of the best solutions. All URLs go through a series of validation as stated below:

  • URL Format
  • CAPTCHA Check
  • Bot Check
  • Keyword Blacklisting
  • Domain Blacklisting
  • Google Safe Check
  • Phish-Tank Check
