URL shorteners come in handy if you want to minimize link to share it on Twitter. But do you know that each URL shorteners have its own performance criteria.
A Dutch web-monitoring company, WatchMouse analyzed the top URL shortener companies and made a performance chart. According to this chart only Goo.gl and Twt.tl has 100% uptime while Snurl.com and tr.im had uptime below 99%.
Goo.gl was fastest and Facebook’s shortener Fb.me was slowest in the test (about ten times slower that fastest Goo.gl).
Which URL shortener service do you use? Mention it in a comment section.
