Why You'll Love It

Sharing links is fundamental to social media, but manually checking if URLs are valid and properly formatted is tedious. Statuz validates every link automatically and shows you exactly what you're about to share with clear visual confirmation.

Pro Tips

  • Copy URLs from browser address bar for guaranteed validity
  • Preview shows domain so you can verify you're sharing the right link
  • Use UTM parameters in your URLs to track traffic from social media
  • Multiple links work fine in one post, but one strong link often performs better
  • Shortened URLs work but consider that some audiences prefer seeing full domains
  • Test links by clicking the preview to verify they go to the right place
  • Links are counted according to platform-specific rules (X counts all URLs as 23 characters)
  • International domains work perfectly - share content from any country
