About once.to

once.to is arguably the youngest player on the link shortener/redirector market, but with a strong ambition to become the number one choice for the job.

Our team is working hard to grow it into the best-of-breed link shortening engine ever.

Fast

For starters, it’s blazing fast and beating all the records. once.to is simply as fast as any software can ever be.

This is achieved by utilizing Go as our primary backend language. Go is best known for its high performance and multiprocessing capabilities, as well as versatility and safety.

Free

Perhaps not obvious, but far not every link shortening service offers a free plan — once.to does.
