The use of shortened URLs is widespread on the internet, but often leads to security concerns as users cannot know which website is actually behind the shortened URL. This can result in users being redirected to malicious websites that serve to steal personal data or spread malware. In addition, URL shorteners may potentially mask SEO information that could be valuable to content creators. Therefore, it is a problem that one is not able to verify the target URL of a shortened connection. Hence, there's a need for a tool that reveals the true target URL and helps minimize internet security risks and gain SEO insights.
