What is the link shortening service?

Link shortening service, or short link service (in English: URL Shortening) is a qualitatively new service in the world of the Internet. It simply relies on reducing or minimizing the length of links in order to make them easy to transfer and remember, or to include or hide the original link in several articles. It first appeared in 2002 with the TinyURL site, and at that time more than 100 similar sites appeared that provided the same service, most of which were easy to remember their names. The truth is that the site that proposes the service creates a new link, and as soon as a visitor enters this link, the site redirects him to the link he wants.
