How to enable link analytics?

On Slimlink, the link analytics are enabled by default when you create a link. This ensures that data tracking begins immediately, allowing you to monitor performance without any extra steps. If you need to verify or adjust analytics settings, you can edit the link details and confirm that analytics tracking is active. With analytics enabled, you can gain valuable insights such as clicks, geographic data, and referral sources to evaluate the effectiveness of your links.

To enable link analytics when creating a link:

  1. Log in to your Slimlink account.
  2. Click Create a new link on the Home page or in the Links section.
  3. On the link creation screen, the Activate link analytics toggle is ON by default. Leave this setting as is to start gathering analytics.
  4. Click Create link to save the shortened link along with analytics option.
If you didn’t enable analytics when creating the link, perhaps tracking wasn’t a priority at the time. However, as the link gains importance - such as driving traffic to campaigns or key content - you can enable analytics later to gain valuable insights.

To enable link analytics when editing a link:

  1. Log in to your Slimlink account.
  2. Navigate to the Links section and find the required link. You can quickly check if analytics is enabled by looking at the icon, which will indicate whether it is active or inactive.
  3. Click the Edit icon next to the required link.
  4. In the link editing window, turn the Activate link analytics toggle ON and click Save.
Once analytics is enabled, the system will immediately begin collecting data for the link, providing insights such as click activity, visitor locations, and more. This allows you to track performance and make data-driven decisions going forward.
