GLINCKER URL Shortener

Fast, analytics-powered URL shortener with custom slugs, QR codes, and click tracking built into GLINCKER.

The URL shortener that started the whole GLINCKER platform. What began as a simple link shortener grew into a full link management tool with custom slugs, QR code generation, click analytics with geographic breakdowns, and expiration rules. Every shortened link tracks clicks, referrers, devices, and locations. The dashboard shows real-time analytics so you can see how your links perform. Custom slugs let you create branded short links. QR codes are generated automatically for every link. Built with Spring Boot on the backend and React on the frontend. Handles millions of redirects with sub-10ms response times through Redis caching.
