Frequently asked about URL Shortener

Why apexkit.pro/ instead of a /url/ prefix?
Shorter URLs convert better in social and SMS. Reserved-slug list prevents collision with /sign-in, /tools, /pricing, etc.
Are click counts live?
Yes — the redirect updates a counter on each visit (fire-and-forget so it never delays the redirect). View your history in the widget below the form.
