Links

Short links are included. Create a public URL of the form https://sh.turtletech.us/{slug} from Dashboard > Links, then inspect redirects without a second product. That host is Antics. Shlink, the old PHP service, is gone. Antics does not serve slugs on antics.turtletech.us, so analytics routes and public slugs cannot collide. https://sh.turtletech.us/{slug}

Create a link

Enter an HTTP or HTTPS destination and create the link. The default is a generated slug, a temporary 302, query forwarding, and immediate activation. Owners can choose a custom slug of 3-64 ASCII letters, digits, hyphens, or underscores.

Optional controls include a title, tags, start and end times, a lifetime visit cap, and 301 / 302 / 307 / 308 status. Destinations with embedded credentials or a loop back to the short-link host are rejected.

What you can see

Each link has visit totals, daily visitor buckets, human and bot counts, a time series, referrer hosts, countries, and device classes. GET records a visit. HEAD resolves the destination without counting one. The resolver returns Location. It does not proxy the destination body and it does not set Content-Disposition.

Use a tracker custom event only when there is no durable public URL. That count can be dropped by a blocker or by the download navigation, and it is not the Links visit total. See the short-link handbook note. How to create a short link

Allowances

Link limits are per product. Antics, Ridley, and OokCite do not share the same active-link or redirect allowance, even on one TurtleTech account.

Monthly redirect usage is metered for reporting. Reaching the advertised redirect count does not break an established public URL. Creating or re-enabling a link is what applies the active-link allowance.

The same operations are available with a Bearer API key. See API. API
