URL shortener

The "URL Shortener" service is a service that provides a second, usually shorter, automatically generated alternative URL for any URL of existing Web pages.

If you add a plus sign ("+") at the end of the short URL, you will receive statistics about the use of the shortened URL, e.g. the number of hits.

For example, the URL https://www.ethz.ch/services/de/it-services/katalog.html als http://u.ethz.ch/lBQCF has been shortened. Statistics can thus be reviewed via the URL http://u.ethz.ch/lBQCF+.

This also means users can publish URLs on print media, posters and videos that are easier to write down.

This IT service is available free of charge to all persons with a relationship to ETH (employees, students and lecturers).
