You can try this with my Bitly link of.
bit.ly/ 2ZZnuP2 which will take you to the registration page for my Practical Ed Tech Newsletter (.
https://practicaledtech.com/weekly-newsletter/). If you try the same link but add “+” to the end of it so it reads like this.
bit.ly/ 2ZZnuP2+ you will go to the Bitly page where I reduced my initial URL.

Ive produced a couple of short video demonstrations of how this trick works. This is the Instagram video that I made about it. This is the YouTube video that I made about it.

Bitly is a hassle-free tool for producing brief URLs to share in place of long URLs. Ive utilized it for several years to develop customized URLs that are easy for my students to type. Some individuals use Bitly to attempt to mask URLs to attempt to get you to click on wicked links. Luckily, there is an easy way to see where a Bitly link will take you without needing to in fact click on the link..
The trick is to merely add a “+” to the end of any Bitly URL. When you include the “+” the URL will redirect to Bitly instead of to whatever the initial URL was. That will then reveal you the Bitly page on which the reduced URL is hosted and will show you what the initial link was..
