Hi all - We are currently working on shortening our click tracking links. Couple thoughts-
- As pointed out these links do contain security measures and details to enable analytics/ reporting, so by nature they will be longer than vanity urls
- In general, we have avoided a vanity url type behavior because that relies on a database that maps the vanirty url to the re-direct url. In the unlikely scenario of an outage on that database we air on the side of caution to avoid having issues with re-directs.
All that said we have plenty of room to make the click tracking link shorter/ more efficient. @valleybox can you give me an idea of what you think an acceptable length is from security standpoint?
I will update this thread with more details on length as we get more clarity on how much we can reduce the length of these click tracking urls.
