Shorten anything

  • Toolbar: click the icon, then Shorten this page. The link is copied for you. Open Custom name, domain and tracking for more.

  • Right-click: on a page, a link or an image. Select some text with addresses in it, and fewly shortens them all.

It removes click ids like fbclid from addresses first and keeps your UTM tags. You can turn this off in its settings.

Link Lens: clicks on any site

A small badge appears next to your own short links wherever they are: LinkedIn, X, Gmail or a client's site. You can see how a post is doing without leaving it.

Click the gear icon in the extension and switch on Link Lens. Your browser asks for permission to read pages. Only your own short links are looked up. Nothing else leaves the page.

Audit any page

The This page tab counts links, shows which have UTM tags, and lists the marketing tools the page loads: Meta Pixel, Google Analytics, TikTok and others. It's handy for checking your own setup, or seeing what a competitor uses. Check for broken links tests up to 100 of them.
