Overview
The Link Test feature in Trackier helps you verify and validate tracking links before sending traffic. It ensures that your campaign URLs are working correctly, redirecting properly, and tracking all parameters as expected.
To perform a link test, go to the Automation section in your platform, click on the Offer Optimise option and open the Link Test tool. From there, you can test any tracking URL using different device and location settings.
Why Link Testing is Important
Link testing ensures that your campaign is technically correct before going live. It helps you:
Verify correct redirection flow
Detect broken or misconfigured tracking links
Ensure accurate tracking of clicks and conversions
Validate geo/device-based targeting rules
Avoid traffic loss due to incorrect URLs
Reduce campaign launch errors
How to Perform a Link Test
URL: Enter the URL of the link that you would like to test.
Device: It will ask you for the device through which you will access the link. It could be Apple, Android, a tablet, or a desktop.
Country: The country through which you will be accessing the link.
Version: This option will not appear if you choose "Desktop." It will ask you to mention the version of the phone and tablet you will be using to access the link.
Post-Analysis Result
Once you enter the URL and click on "Run test", it will show you the following:
Offer and Destination URL: This is to show and check if the URL is being redirected to any other place, as well as the actual destination URL of the link.
Hops: The total number of hops, i.e., the number of redirects between click and final destination
Status Code: This will tell you the status code, i.e., whether you are successful (200) or not (400).
Time: Time taken for the URL to load
Notes:
Always test links before launching live traffic
Use desktop + mobile tests to ensure full coverage
Ensure tracking parameters (click ID and macros) are correctly appended
If hops are too high, review redirect chains for performance impact
A 200 status code indicates a healthy and working link
