Frequently asked questions

What does zaob.ao do with an article URL?
It creates a short address that redirects to the zaobao.com URL you provide. The article remains on the original site. You do not need to register to shorten its address.
Which domains are supported?
Supported domains: zaobao.com, zaobao.com.sg. Links to their subdomains are also accepted.
Do short links expire?
Short links are intended for long-term use, but continued availability is not guaranteed. A short link cannot restore a destination page that has been removed.
Are there any usage limits?
The service is free. Request rate limits help prevent abuse. If you reach a limit, wait a moment before trying again.
Are short links safe to open?
We only accept links to supported domains, but this does not guarantee that the content is safe. Check the destination before entering personal information or running downloaded files.
Can I view click statistics?
zaob.ao does not provide click statistics. To create links you can edit, delete and track, purchase an S.EE plan. Links created here are not added to your S.EE account.
How can I get help?
This service is operated by S.EE. For questions or to report a link, contact S.EE.
Does zaob.ao change access to subscriber articles?
No. The link takes readers to the original page, where the publisher’s access rules still apply. Shortening an address does not include a subscription.

Only the history in this browser will be deleted. This does not disable the short link.
To disable a link, contact S.EE. To create links you can manage yourself, choose a paid S.EE plan.
