URL shortener with QR codes and click statistics
What happens when someone clicks a short link
five steps from click to destination page
Source: DVN Links redirect code, as of 16 Oct 2026
Figure description
Diagram in five steps. 1. DNS: the browser asks where dvn.dev is and connects to the shortener server. 2. Link lookup: code and domain match, the link is active and not expired; the click limit keeps counting. Branches: no link gets a 302 to the home page; an expired link gets a 302 to the “Link expired” page; past the click limit, a 302 to the destination with the click hidden in statistics. 3. Click is recorded: device, system, browser, country, referrer, UTM; the IP address is stored only as a hash. 4. A 302 response with a Location header, the destination address with UTM from the link fields if they are set. 5. Destination page: only here can the GA4 tag count a visit, if the page loads. Step 3 does not hold up step 4.

What the DVN Links URL shortener does
Short link, QR code and statistics in one dashboard — for marketing, shops and anyone who prints codes.
Shortening in seconds
Paste an address and get a short link with a random code or your own alias. You pick the domain for each link.
A QR code for every link
The code goes through the short link, so you can change the destination after printing. Colours from the Starter plan, your own logo from Business. Links do not expire on any plan.
Click statistics
Clicks, countries, devices, browsers, operating systems, referrers and UTM campaigns. History of 7, 30, 90 or 365 days, depending on the plan.
Choice of domain
Shorten on qrln.pl, dvnlinks.pl or dvn.dev. Available domains depend on your plan.
Expiration dates
From the Starter plan, set an expiry date for a link. Once it passes, the link stops resolving.
REST API
From the Starter plan, automate from code: create links, pull statistics and QR codes.
Security first
Encrypted connections, data processed in line with the GDPR and links to phishing and malware blocked.
Harmful links blocked
