What is it?
URL shortening is a technique in which a URL may be made substantially
shorter in length and have (sometimes) more meaning.
Example:
https://www.epfl.ch/campus/services/communication/audiences-canaux/epfl-magazine/ becomes https://go.epfl.ch/mag.Reveal URLs
If you want to know where a shortened URL will redirect, you can find it out with the URL /reveal/alias
.
For instance, to know where https://go.epfl.ch/mag will redirect, use https://go.epfl.ch/reveal/mag.
