I Built a Free URL Shortener with No Ads or Tracking – Try It!

The Problem with Traditional URL Shorteners

Let’s be real—most URL shorteners suck. They track your data, inject ads, and some even make you wait before redirecting. When I needed a fast, privacy-friendly alternative, I realized…

❌ Bitly and TinyURL have limited free features
❌ Most shorteners don’t let you preview the destination
❌ Some even modify your links for affiliate commissions

So, I built DJOBOX.BE – a free, fast, and secure URL shortener designed for privacy and simplicity. No tracking, no ads, just quick and clean link shortening.

How I Built It

I wanted DJOBOX to be developer-friendly, so I focused on:

✅ Lightning-fast redirects with a lightweight backend (PHP + MySQL)
✅ A clean, ad-free experience – no annoying popups
✅ An API so devs can integrate it into their own projects
✅ QR Code generation for easy sharing

Why You Should Try It

If you need a free, reliable, and secure URL shortener without the BS, DJOBOX.BE is worth a shot.

🚀 No sign-up required – just paste and shorten!
🔒 Privacy-first – No tracking, no invasive ads.
📊 Custom analytics
🚀 Free API
