April 2025 Updates

Here is a summary of what changed across Short.io in April 2025.

Features​

  • Multi-language support — Short.io now supports multiple interface languages. Error messages, email notifications, and the dashboard are localized, with German available as the first additional language. You can set your preferred language in your profile settings.
  • Custom robots.txt per domain — A new API lets you manage a custom robots.txt file for each branded domain, giving you control over how search engines crawl your short links. Learn more
  • Immediate redirect option — Links can now be configured with an immediate redirect that skips the intermediate page, sending visitors straight to the destination URL without any delay.
  • International URLs in geo-targeting — Geo-targeted destination URLs now support internationalized domain names (IDN) and non-ASCII characters, so you can redirect visitors to URLs in any language.
  • Enterprise pricing quote page — A new "Request a Quote" page on the Short.io website lets high-volume customers submit their requirements and receive a custom pricing estimate.

Improvements​

  • Faster dashboard page loads — The dashboard, settings, and public pages now use server-side rendering for significantly faster initial load times.
  • Refreshed clicks stream UI — The real-time clicks stream view has been redesigned for a cleaner, more readable layout.
  • Sidebar navigation tooltips — Hovering over collapsed sidebar icons now shows tooltips describing each section.
  • Domain list filtered by team — The domain list now respects team membership, showing only the domains that belong to your current team.
  • Notification for unattached team domains — You will now see a notification if a domain is not attached to any team.
  • Phone number change popup — The change-phone-number dialog now opens by default when phone verification is required, reducing an extra click.
  • Visitor IP hidden in click stream — Visitor IP addresses are no longer displayed in the click stream to improve end-user privacy. Learn more
  • Folder management via API key — Folder API routes can now be accessed using an API key, in addition to session-based authentication.
  • Email unsubscribe links — Notification emails from Short.io now include a working unsubscribe link so you can opt out of specific email types.
  • Trustpilot score on website — The Short.io landing page now displays the current Trustpilot rating and review score.

Fixes​

  • Statistics chart legend toggling — Clicking legend items in the clicks chart now correctly shows and hides the corresponding datasets.
  • Domain list pagination — Fixed an issue where paginating through a long list of domains could produce errors.
  • SSL certificate display name — The selected SSL certificate and key names are now displayed correctly in domain settings.
  • Redirect on domain limit — Attempting to add a domain when your plan limit is reached now redirects to the upgrade page instead of showing an error.
  • Team management error — Fixed a bug that could prevent team member changes from saving correctly.
  • Search by tag with no results — Searching links by a tag that matches no results no longer produces an unexpected error.
  • TLD-only domain creation blocked — Attempting to add a domain consisting only of a top-level domain (e.g., ".com") is now properly rejected with a clear error message.
  • URLs with special characters in redirects — Destination URLs containing HTML-escaped characters are now decoded correctly during redirection.
  • 404 for paths with special characters — Short links with certain special characters in the path no longer return a false 404 error.
  • Bulk click statistics accuracy — Fixed an issue where daily click aggregation could produce incorrect totals for links receiving high-volume traffic.
