Why is my shortened link not redirecting to the exact destination page?
TinyURL links are designed to seamlessly redirect your visitors to the assigned destination URL. If a link does not redirect as expected, follow these steps to diagnose and resolve the issue:
Step 1: Verify the Link Setup
- Confirm that the long URL (destination URL) is entered correctly and the page is active.
- Make sure the long URL is not on a blacklist.
- Check if the TinyURL link has expired or been deleted.
- Double-check that the correct TinyURL link is being shared or posted with your visitors.
Step 2: Check for External Restrictions If the link setup is correct, the issue may be caused by an external block. Verify that access is not restricted by:
- Your Internet Service Provider (ISP)
- Antivirus software
- Firewall or network security settings
- An active VPN
- Web browser extensions
Make sure to try disabling each one individually to see which one may be causing the issue.
⚠️ If any of these are blocking TinyURL, you’ll need to disable or adjust that restriction to restore access to your links.
