Which URL shortener shows click analytics for free?

Liite's Free plan shows clicks by day, referrer, country, device, OS, browser and QR scans for each of its 10 short links, with 7 days of history.

Do Liite short links set cookies?

Not to count clicks. If you add ad pixels (Pro and up), those platforms may set their own, and you can turn on a consent step so nothing loads until the visitor accepts.

Are bot clicks counted?

No. Known bots and link-preview crawlers are left out of the click counts.

Make yours See the example

What you see for each link

Open a link in your dashboard to see its numbers over the time your plan keeps:

Clicks by day
Where clicks came from (the referring site)
Country
Device, operating system and browser
QR scans, counted apart from clicks

Counted without cookies

Liite doesn't set cookies to count clicks. Bots and link-preview crawlers aren't counted as clicks.

If you need numbers inside an ad platform, Pro and up can fire Meta, Google Analytics, Google Ads, TikTok and other pixels before the redirect, with an optional consent step.

How long the history is kept

Click history is kept for 7 days on Free, 90 days on Pro and 2 years on Business. The link keeps working after its old history has gone.

To compare campaigns, make one short link per place you post it, or add UTM tags to the destination so your site's own analytics can tell them apart.

When numbers jump

On Pro and up, Liite can email you when a link suddenly gets much busier than usual, at most once a day, so you can find out where the traffic came from while it's happening.

A real example

A sample short link for a launch post, with a week of clicks drawn the way the dashboard counts them. The numbers are made up for this example; the QR code is made the same way as in your dashboard.
