Smart Link Preview Checker

Paste a smart link, short link, or public redirect URL to inspect the destination and redirect path observed by the checker.

Compare desktop, iOS-like, and Android-like redirect results before you share a link.

Results are observations from Smart Linker’s checker environment using desktop-, iOS-, and Android-like requests from one network location. Links that route by country or region may behave differently elsewhere.

Use this checker when

  • you want to inspect the destination and redirect path observed for a smart link, short link, or public redirect URL
  • you want to compare desktop, iOS-like, and Android-like redirect results
  • you want to inspect the final destination, redirect chain, and HTTP status before sharing a link

This checker does not

  • prove installed-app opening
  • validate deferred deep links, Universal Links, or Android App Links
  • verify attribution, SDK, MMP, conversion, or live-store behavior
