        abstract = {The recent growth regarding web-based communication or sharing of digital content results in a significant challenge to usability, security, and effective management concerning the usage of long and complex URLs. URL compression services aim at converting lengthy web addresses into shorter forms; however, most of the existing solutions lack proper validation, access control, and analytical capabilities. This document describes the design and implementation of the framework for secure URL compression and link management, which enhances reliability, control, and usability.
The approach that has been proposed guarantees that the availability and security of URLs are tested before shortening. Additionally, the approach caters to various forms of creating URLs, including URLs that are public, private, and custom. Expiry has also been included in this system, helping a user track their URLs that they have shortened, thus restricting their usage. Creating a QR code has also been included. Through a QR code, a user will be enabled to access their shortened URLs even if their device does not connect with a network. Based on the observations, it has been established that there are improvements in terms of security, effectiveness, and manageability.},
