Hello Friends,many times on social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, we recieve shortened URL,but we are not sure what we are clicking on and which website the link will redirct us and if that website would be safe from viruses, malware or any phising threats.
In this video I am going to show you quick and easy URL expanders.
These expanders will immediately tell you where these shortened URL points to, so you can decide if you really want to click it or not ?
There are some url expander sites like getlinkinfo.com ,checkshorturl.com,urlxray.com and many others.
These websites allows you to retrieve the original URL from a shortened link.
In this video, I will talk about getlinkinfo.com.
Getlinkinfo.com. is a service where you can find out where the destination of a shortened URL will take you to, before clicking on the link.
By examining the link prior to clicking, you'll have more of a chance of avoiding phishing, malware, and viruses by examining short URLs before visiting them.
Extra information will also be retrieved about the shortened URL, such as: Title and description of the webpage.
It lets you know if the hidden link is safe or not before visiting it.
So the next time anyone sends you a shortened URL and you are suspicious as to what is lying behind that URL mask, try out these url expanders.
