Google is Ending Their URL Shortener, But Galliass is Here to Help!
Created on 9 August, 2024 • News • 263 views • 2 minutes read
Google has announced the final shutdown of its URL shortener service, Google URL Shortener (goo.gl), due to changing internet behaviors and the rise of new URL shortening services.
Who is Impacted? Developers using goo.gl links will need to transition to other URL-shortening services as these links will no longer be supported. Google apps-generated links will continue to function.
What to Expect?
- Starting August 23, 2024, an interstitial page will be shown for some goo.gl links.
- The percentage of links showing this interstitial page will increase over time until the shutdown.
- All goo.gl links will return a 404 response after August 25th, 2025.
- There will be an interstitial page that will disrupt the current flow and embedded social metadata in your links.
