FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

I shortened my link but never got to set a custom path — where is that option?

Behind "more options", which you need to click before shortening. That's where you type a custom path like "social" for a link you'll post on social media.

What do I need on hand before creating a trackable link?

Just the URL you want to track. Copy it, paste it into the field on the Zight page, and the customize and shorten options take it from there.

Which stats does the link actually collect?

Total visits, last visit, unique source, and the creation date. They start appearing as soon as people click, and the shortened link comes with a view-statistics option alongside copy and share.
