Shortcode Lookup Bar
Every public page on the FastLinkIt website includes a shortcode lookup bar pinned below the navigation bar. This lets anyone quickly visit a short link without needing the full URL.
How It Works
- Type a short code in the input field (e.g.
my-link) - The bar shows
flnk.it /as a prefix — you only type the code part - As you type, the system checks in real time whether the code exists:
- Green checkmark — the code exists, Go button is enabled
- Red X — the code doesn't exist, Go button stays disabled
- Spinning arrow — checking in progress
- Press Enter or click the Go button to navigate to
flnk.it/{code}
What Gets Checked
The lookup checks all three types of short codes:
- Short links (URL and file links)
- Link-in-bio pages
- Booking links
On the Homepage
The homepage also has a larger "Try a Short Link" section below the hero with the same validation behaviour. It includes a clickable example (docs) to demonstrate the feature.
