Self-hosted · built for social

Short links you can re-point,
with previews you control.

CocoLinks turns one short URL into a rich social card for WhatsApp, Facebook, X and LinkedIn — and lets you change where it points anytime, without breaking the link you already shared.

Editable links

Change the destination. Keep the link.

You printed the QR on a flyer. You shared the URL in a WhatsApp group. Then the campaign moved. With CocoLinks the short link stays exactly the same — you just re-point it, and every share you’ve already sent starts landing in the new place.

  • 302, not 301. Browsers cache 301 redirects aggressively and can freeze a link on its old target. CocoLinks always serves a 302, so every edit takes effect right away.
  • Live the instant you save. The in-memory cache updates in the same request — no propagation wait, no CDN purge dance.
  • Every change is on record. An audit trail keeps who edited what, and when.

One link, every platform

Decide exactly how your link looks when it’s shared.

Set the title, description and image once. When a crawler fetches your link, CocoLinks serves a proper Open Graph card — humans get an instant redirect instead. You see the Facebook and WhatsApp cards build live, right in the console, as you type.

Facebook

Full Open Graph card with image, title and description — and an automatic re-scrape the moment you edit.

Live preview in console

WhatsApp

Rich link preview with a right-sized thumbnail, so it renders cleanly in chats and groups — India’s busiest channel.

X / Twitter

Summary-large-image Twitter Card tags, tuned to fill the timeline embed edge to edge.

OG & card tags served

LinkedIn

Clean professional card for posts and DMs, built from the same Open Graph tags LinkedIn reads.

A note on Instagram: it doesn’t render link previews in feed posts, captions or comments — that’s a platform limit, not ours. Your CocoLinks card still works in bios, DMs and story stickers.

The full toolkit

A complete link stack, self-hosted.

Editable destinations

Re-point any link without changing its URL. Everything you’ve already shared keeps working.

Custom social cards

Own the title, description and image per link, with a live Facebook and WhatsApp preview as you edit.

Redirects from memory

Every active link lives in RAM. Redirects never touch the database, so a lookup never waits on a query.

Crawler-aware

Bots get a rich card, humans get a 302. CocoLinks recognises 25+ social crawlers so previews and speed both hold up.

Cookieless analytics

Clicks, devices, referrers and channels — from a salted visitor hash that’s deleted nightly. No cookie, no banner.

Branded custom slugs

Pick a memorable slug like /diwali-sale, or let CocoLinks mint a short unique code.

Numbers you can actually trust.

CocoLinks separates real humans from the flood of social crawlers, so your click count means something. Visitors are counted with a salted daily hash that’s wiped every night — no cookie, no cross-day tracking, nothing to consent to.

  • Humans and bots, charted apart — crawler hits never pad your real numbers.
  • Source, device & referrer breakdowns, with your UTM parameters passed straight through to the destination.
  • The data is yours — it lives in your Postgres, on your server, with no third parties in the loop.
How it works

From link to launch in three steps.

1

Create the link

Paste your destination, pick a slug, and set the title, description and image for the social card.

2

Share it anywhere

Drop the short URL into WhatsApp, Facebook, X or LinkedIn — each shows your custom rich card.

3

Re-point & measure

Move the destination whenever the campaign shifts, and watch the clicks come in — cookie-free.

Your console awaits

Take control of your links.

Open the console, create your first link, and watch the live preview build itself as you type.
