URL Shortener with Click Tracking
A short link without tracking is just a short link. a777.lt gives you a complete picture of every click — who clicked, from where, on what device, and whether it was a real human or a bot.
No signup. Click tracking included on every link.
What Click Data Is Captured?
Every click on an a777.lt short link is recorded server-side with the following data points:
| Data Point | What It Tells You | Free? |
|---|---|---|
| Timestamp | Exact time of each click | ✅ |
| Country | Where your audience is located | ✅ |
| Referrer | Which site or platform sent the click | ✅ |
| Browser | Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc. | ✅ |
| Operating System | Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, etc. | ✅ |
| Device Type | Desktop, mobile, or tablet | ✅ |
| Bot Detection | Real humans vs. crawlers and bots | ✅ |
| Unique Visitors | Distinct IPs (24h deduplication) | ✅ |
| Hourly Distribution | Best times your audience is active | Paid |
How Click Tracking Works Without Slowing Down Redirects
Many URL shorteners add analytics by inserting JavaScript or making external API calls during the redirect — which adds hundreds of milliseconds of latency. a777.lt takes a different approach:
- Visitor clicks your short link
- 301 redirect is sent instantly — visitor is already heading to the destination
- Server logs the click data in the background after the response is flushed
- Geolocation lookup (if needed) happens after the visitor has left
The result: sub-10ms redirect latency regardless of analytics load. Your visitors never wait for tracking to complete.
Bot Filtering — Get Accurate Human Click Counts
If you share a link publicly, bots will click it — search engine crawlers, SEO tools (Ahrefs, Semrush), social media link previewers (Slack, Discord, Twitter), and more. a777.lt automatically identifies and flags these:
- Googlebot, Bingbot, Yahoo Slurp, DuckDuckBot, Baiduspider, YandexBot
- Social previewers: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack
- SEO crawlers: AhrefsBot, SemrushBot, MJ12bot, DotBot
- Generic patterns: any user-agent containing "bot", "crawl", or "spider"
Flagged bots are shown separately in your stats so you can see both raw total clicks and real human clicks.
Click Tracking Use Cases
Cross-check clicks with your affiliate network dashboard. If there's a mismatch, use the referrer and bot data to diagnose whether clicks are being dropped or attributed incorrectly.
Create one short link per platform (Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn) to see exactly which channel drives the most traffic. The referrer and device data tells you which audience converts.
Wrap your call-to-action URLs in short links. Every click is logged with a timestamp, so you can see exactly when subscribers engage after a send — and from which email clients.
Short links work perfectly as QR code targets. Track which physical materials generate scans, from which countries, and whether people are scanning with iOS or Android.
