Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if the target URL doesn't allow iframes?
If the target URL blocks iframe embedding, the link will fail to load in Iframe Mode. Use Bridge Page or Redirect Mode as an alternative.
Are there any limitations for social media sharing?
Some social media platforms may restrict certain behaviors (like iframes). Test your links on the intended platform to ensure compatibility.
Troubleshooting
Link not opening in the desired mode
Ensure you've selected the correct behavior during link creation and double-check the target URL for restrictions (e.g., iframe blocking).
Analytics not showing data
Verify that the link is correctly integrated with the analytics system and ensure users are clicking on the Link Shield-generated link.
