While shortened URLs don't directly impact SEO rankings, they can indirectly benefit your SEO efforts. Short, clean URLs are more clickable, which can improve click-through rates. They also make links easier to share, potentially increasing backlinks and traffic. However, for main website URLs, it's better to use descriptive, keyword-rich URLs directly.
The shortened URLs you create remain active and functional even if you clear your browser history. However, your local history of shortened URLs stored in this tool will be cleared. We recommend saving important shortened URLs externally (in a document or spreadsheet) for long-term reference.
