Tiny, on purpose.
Slugs default to four legible characters. Add your own when the moment calls for a little flourish.
Compress the web to a speck.
Speck is a link shortener for people who actually look at their links. Paste anything ridiculous; receive a tiny, beautiful, perfectly tracked URL — served from edges so close to your readers they barely have time to blink.

Chapter 01 — The craft
Built like a typewriter, fast like a thought.
Most shorteners feel like a redirect coupon hidden behind a banner ad. Speck treats every link like a small, deliberate object worth caring about — from the slug you choose to the page that loads on the other side.
Edge-first redirects.
Every speck answers from the closest of eleven regions. Median 180 ms — usually faster than your DNS.
Your domain, not ours.
Bring go.yourbrand.com. Speck quietly handles the certs, the proxying, the rest.
Honest analytics.
Clicks, sources, devices, geographies — no creepy fingerprinting, no consent banner gymnastics.

It is the only link shortener I open as a tab on purpose.
