URL redirects are a handy feature of CrocoClick that lets you turn long or complex links into short, custom URLs based on your own domain.

It’s an ideal solution for simplifying link sharing, strengthening your branding, and improving the user experience.

What is a URL redirect?

A URL redirect is used to direct a user to an external page or service via a simple, custom link based on your domain. For example:

• Original link: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/123456789?pwd=abcdefghijklm

• Redirected link: votredomaine.com/zoom

By using a simple URL like votredomaine.com, you make it look like an internal link on your site, even though it redirects to an external page. This is a powerful way to:

• Simplify link sharing on social media, in emails, or via text messages.

• Strengthen your brand by highlighting your own domain.

• Provide a better user experience with short, memorable links.

• Branding: Use your own domain to boost your brand’s credibility and recognition.

• Versatility: Create redirects for meetings, online resources, or even promotional offers.
