Reviews
This URL shortener consistently creates 0url.to short links with 1-year expiries in roughly 1.5–2.5 seconds, using a minimal single-field schema and returning clean JSON (code, shortUrl, expires). Redirect chains resolve correctly in the majority of tests, and the service is currently free. One reviewer encountered a complete outage where the 0url.to redirect domain was unreachable and links timed out, and another noted a double-hop redirect and a payment settlement warning on a free call.
