No access to the page needed
The click is recorded on Letlink’s side, so the destination can be a marketplace listing, a partner’s site, a booking page or a file host you have no login for.
Track any URL
URL tracker for pages you can’t add code to
Letlink tracks the visits you send to any web address — a marketplace listing, a partner’s page, a hosted PDF, a form — by recording the click on a short link before the visitor arrives. Nothing is installed on the destination.
Short answer
A URL tracker counts the visits you send to a web address by putting a short link in front of it and recording each click before redirecting. With Letlink the destination needs no script, tag or access, so it works for pages you don’t own; each click records country, device, browser, referrer and campaign. The free plan tracks 1,000 clicks a month with no card.

Features
Why track the URL instead of the page
Files and forms too
Point a short link at a hosted PDF, a slide deck or a form and count how many people followed your link to it. Letlink sees the click, not reading time inside the file.
Swap the destination later
If the listing moves or the PDF gets a new version, edit the destination. Every copy of the short link already shared keeps working and keeps counting.
One URL, many short links
Give the same destination a separate short link per place you share it and compare them side by side, without asking the page owner for anything.
Ad click IDs pass through
gclid, fbclid and ttclid added by ad networks are passed on to the destination, so a tag on that page can still attribute the visit.
The same data on every URL
Country, device, browser, operating system, referrer, campaign and unique visitors, whatever the destination is built with.
Use cases
URLs people track this way
Marketplace and directory listings
Count how many shoppers your newsletter or social posts sent to an Amazon, Etsy or app store listing, where you cannot add your own analytics.
Partner and press pages
Measure the traffic you drive to a partner’s landing page or a feature about you, separately from what the partner reports.
Hosted documents
Share a short link to a PDF brochure or a cloud-hosted deck and see when, where and on what devices it was opened from your link.
Forms and booking pages
Track visits to a third-party form, calendar or checkout before people fill it in.
-
Copy the destination URL
Open the page, file or form and copy its full https:// address.
-
Create a short link
In the link builder, choose Standard URL, paste the address and pick a back-half such as /listing or /brochure.
-
Share the short link only
Use the short link everywhere you would have pasted the long one. Visits that bypass it — people typing the original address — are not counted.
-
Read the link’s stats page
Open the link to see clicks over time with country, device, browser and referrer for each visit.

What is a URL tracker?
A URL tracker records visits to a web address through a short link placed in front of it. Letlink logs each click — time, country, device, browser, referrer and campaign — then redirects to the URL, so the destination needs no tracking code. The free plan covers 1,000 tracked clicks a month.
Can I track a URL I don’t own?
Yes. Because the click is recorded on the short link, the destination can be any public https:// page — a marketplace listing, a partner site or a file host. You track the visits you send there through your link, not the page’s total traffic.
How is a URL tracker different from page analytics?
Page analytics such as GA4 runs on a page you own and sees everything that happens there, from any source. A URL tracker sees only clicks on your short link, but works on any destination and records the visit even when the visitor blocks scripts. Many teams use both, and Letlink can send each click to GA4 from Solo.
Can I track how long someone reads a PDF?
No. Letlink records the click that opens the file — when, where and on what device — and then hands the visitor to it. It does not see pages read, time spent or downloads from other routes.
Will the destination see that the visit came through Letlink?
Letlink redirects straight to your URL with no interstitial page. Ad click IDs such as gclid and fbclid are passed through, and any UTM parameters you put in the destination URL arrive as written.
Can I change the URL after sharing the link?
Yes. Edit the destination from the dashboard at any time; the short link stays the same and keeps recording. Letlink redirects with a temporary (302) status, so browsers do not cache the old address.
