Trackable links
Trackable links with real-time click analytics
A trackable link is a short link that records every click so you can measure performance. With fewly, every link you shorten automatically tracks total and unique clicks, countries, devices, browsers, and referrers — updated in real time, with bots filtered out of your primary metrics.
What you can track
Every fewly link is trackable by default — no setup, no tags to install:
- Total clicks and unique visitors
- Top countries and regions (offline GeoIP)
- Device type — desktop, mobile, tablet
- Browsers and operating systems
- Referrers — which sites and apps send traffic
- Clicks over time, with date-range filters
How link tracking works
When someone clicks a fewly link, they're redirected in single-digit milliseconds, and the click is recorded asynchronously in the background. That means tracking never slows the visitor down — the redirect is instant and the analytics still capture every click. You see the data live in your dashboard.
Trackable links + UTM parameters
fewly preserves any query string on your destination, so you can add UTM tags directly — for example ?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email. The short link stays clean while your UTMs pass through to Google Analytics or any tool you use, giving you both fewly's built-in analytics and full attribution downstream.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a trackable link?
- A trackable link is a short URL that records data about every click — how many clicks, from which countries, on what devices, and from which referrers. With fewly, every short link is trackable automatically.
- Does click tracking slow down the redirect?
- No. fewly redirects in single-digit milliseconds and records the click asynchronously afterward, so the visitor experiences an instant redirect while you still capture every click.
- Can I track links with UTM parameters?
- Yes. fewly keeps UTM parameters on your destination URL so they flow through to your analytics tools, on top of fewly's own built-in click analytics.
- Is link analytics free?
- Core click analytics are included on the free plan. Paid plans extend the history window and add features like longer retention and exportable reports.
