When you create a shortened URL, you'll receive a unique results page URL that you can bookmark to access your link's analytics and settings later. We recommend saving this URL if you want to track your link's performance.

To create a custom URL:

1. Enter your long URL on the homepage
2. Toggle the "Advanced Features" switch
3. In the "Custom URL Path" field, enter your desired custom text (e.g., "my-special-link")
4. Click "Shorten"

Your custom URL will be created in the format: zexo.com/your-custom-text

Note: Custom text can only contain letters, numbers, and hyphens, and must be unique.

To add password protection to your shortened links:

1. Enter your long URL on the homepage
2. Toggle the "Advanced Features" switch
3. Check the "Password Protection" option
4. Enter your desired password in the field provided
5. Click "Shorten"

When someone clicks your password-protected link, they'll need to enter the correct password before being redirected to the destination URL.

Yes, you can set links to expire either by date or by number of clicks:

1. Enter your long URL on the homepage
2. Toggle the "Advanced Features" switch
3. In the expiration section, choose either "Expire by Date" or "Expire by Clicks"
4. Set your desired expiration parameters
5. Click "Shorten"

Once a link expires, visitors will see a customizable expiration message instead of being redirected to the destination URL.

If your shortened link isn't working correctly, check the following:

• Expiration: The link may have reached its expiration date or click limit
• Password: If you added password protection, make sure you're entering the correct password
• Destination URL: Verify that the original destination URL is still active
• Typing error: Double-check that you're entering the shortened URL correctly

If you're still having issues, please contact our support team for assistance.

Since Zexo doesn't require accounts, analytics are accessible through the results page that's shown after you create a shortened URL. If you can't find your analytics, it could be due to one of these reasons:

• You didn't bookmark the results page URL
• You're using a different browser or device than the one you used to create the link
• Your browser cookies were cleared

To prevent this in the future, always bookmark the results page for important links, or consider taking a screenshot of the analytics page for your records.
