Long URLs Are Out – Long Live Short URLs

While long, descriptive URLs remain valuable for SEO and help Google and other search engines understand and rank your content, they’re often a nightmare for humans. They’re hard to remember, nearly impossible to type correctly – especially on mobile devices – and they don’t look great in social posts or printed formats.

That’s where shurl.ch comes in. With shurl.ch, you can turn lengthy web addresses into short, tidy links – and even customize them, as long as the short URL is still available. Plus, with the Professional subscription and above, you can use your own domain for short URLs. This gives you full flexibility and lets you run shurl.ch as if it were your own URL shortening service.
