Signal Over Surveillance
Actionable insights without data liability.
The dashboard focuses on aggregated link performance rather than tracking individual people across the internet.
Visit counts
See how often each short link is accessed, with a running total and per-link breakdown in the dashboard.
Top referrers
Understand whether clicks came from social platforms, email, direct visits, or other sources when that header is present.
Country breakdown
Review country-level traffic derived at redirect time without storing the raw visitor IP address.
Device mix
Track desktop, mobile, and tablet access patterns to understand how people open your links.
Aggregated redirect analytics, not visitor dossiers.
When a visitor clicks a SafeSlug link, the redirect handler derives a high-level country code and general device class from the incoming request. It never persists the visitor's raw IP address, full user agent string, or tracking cookies.
Referrer metrics are parsed only when the Referer header is sent by the browser. SafeSlug also sends a no-referrer policy header to destination sites to protect visitor privacy.
Why use privacy-first link analytics?
Many traditional shorteners treat analytics as a fingerprinting pipeline: harvesting IP addresses, tracking cross-site cookies, and building commercial marketing profiles. This introduces compliance risks under GDPR and CCPA.
SafeSlug isolates the signals you actually need to measure performance: click volume, top referring platforms, country distributions, and device splits.
This ensures a lightweight, clean, and reliable tool for privacy-conscious developers, security-minded teams, and client deliverables.
