How to shorten a URL, why do we need to make it shorter?

        Nowadays, you may often come across URLs with English names like bit.ly, shorturl.asia, or urlkub.com, commonly seen on social media platforms such as Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram. When you click on these links, they redirect you to various websites. This demonstrates the common practice of shortening long URLs into shorter ones.

In the fields of Marketing, Digital Marketing, and Branding, URLs play a crucial role in directing customers to target websites. However, marketers often use long URLs because they include UTM parameters to collect data for analysis. (We’ll explain more about UTM parameters in the next article! 😊) As a result, URL shortening becomes essential to ensure that posts are concise, visually appealing, and effective at attracting customers to click.
