More than often on various social networking websites, especially on Twitter you encounter shortened URLs. Normally shortened URLs are a good thing but they are now being used to betray you. They might lead to a spam site or to something that is completely useless. So is there a way to find what is beneath those links? Yes, there is. Several websites can help you locate the initial URL of the shortened URL without having you visit the URL yourself. Here is a small list of such websites.

Where Does This Link Go: #-Link-Snipped-#

URL X-Ray: <a href="https://urlxray.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">urlxray.com</a>

Long URL: #-Link-Snipped-#

If you find any other websites who do the same job please mention them in the comments.
