Links

What makes up a link

• Hostname — the domain the short URL lives on (lnk.linksaff.app or your own).
• Slug — the short word after the slash. This is what you put in your emails, ads, or SMS.
• Destination URL — the offer or affiliate link where visitors land.
• Status — whether the link is active, paused, or broken.
• Title — optional label, only visible to you in the dashboard.
• Project — optional, for grouping related links.

Slug rules

• 1 to 128 characters.
• Letters, digits, hyphens, underscores. No spaces or special characters.
• Not case-sensitive. Whether your slug is typed in uppercase or lowercase, it always resolves to the same link. Linksaff stores them in lowercase.
• Must be unique on the hostname you choose.

Link statuses

• Active — the link redirects normally and counts clicks. This is the default.
• Paused — the link is disabled. Visitors who click it see a neutral error page — your destination URL is never exposed. Use this when an offer is temporarily on hold.
• Broken — same as paused, but set automatically by Linksaff when the destination URL stops working. See Health checks.

Editing a live link

You can change the destination URL at any time — visitors who click after the change land on the new one. You can also rename the slug, but anyone who already has the old short URL will get an error. Treat the slug like part of the URL contract once it's shared.

Deleting a link

Deletes are permanent — the link, its click history, and any variants are gone. If you want to keep the history, pause the link instead.

Limits

• Up to 30 link actions per minute.
• The dashboard shows up to 100 links at once — use search or project filters to find what you need.
