How does link shortening work?
Links shared from Egger & Co, will automatically be processed and shortened to an https://egger.to link. Please note: anyone with a egger.to shortened link will be able to navigate to the destination URL.
Why does Egger & Co have its own link shortener?
Shortened links allow you to share long URLs in a post while maintaining the maximum number of characters for your message.
Having a link shortener protects users from malicious sites that engage in spreading malware, phishing attacks, and other harmful activity. A link converted by Egger & Co’s link service is checked against a list of potentially dangerous sites. Users are warned with the error message below when clicking on potentially harmful URLs.
The link service at https://egger.to is only used by Egger & Co and is not available as a general shortening service on other apps or sites.
