into a new shorter one, that points to the exact same page but that is only
20 characters long.
When someone click on the tiny link short cut, before be redirect on the
web, script shows the page with static text for several seconds. (Admin can
change the text, time of showing and also have possibility to switch on/off
the intermediate 'static' page.)
In admin area you have:
- report part. There you will see statistic reports of site usage. For example,
what is the most popular URL on you site, IPs list etc.
- database record manager. Web interface for database management. You will have
ability to delete users URL from you site database.
- site settings. Web interface to change site settings and configs.
