People on the Internet is no stranger to the concept of a shortened link. When just a few mouse clicks, we can make the link a long ngoang, briefly becoming difficult to remember and easy sharing. Some service became famous in the world like bit.ly, tinyurl.com, ... Even major brands like Google or Facebook also launched service shortened link to polish its own brand.
Most of the thought of the concept of "Shrink Link", people will think of a quick, convenient and safe. But is it like that?
Recently, WatchMouse, a Dutch information technology firm, did a statistical survey on 14 sites reduced the current top link.
According to survey results, only two of them are twt.tl and goo.gl which run perfectly at the survey period (from 14 / 2 to 16 / 3) and the rest will take quite long to run, especially is snurl.com and tr.im only run under 99%.

Speed, can only conclude that the shortened link pages run fairly slow. It took more than half a second to move from link to link the original shortened. And even more surprisingly, fb.me of Facebook page is the latest. You can with a few seconds is not worth half a bag, but you will be amazed to see that youtu.be goo.gl and only takes 350 milliseconds to load the page.
Although one can not deny that the site contributes to a shortened link briefly access, others become an integral part of the social networks like Twitter, but at the same time, they also make the Internet become slower. Not to mention that some people use a shortened link to trick a user clicks on a malicious site to steal information.
