User Dashboard
The User Dashboard (https://go.arcn.online/dashboard) provides registered users with a unified command center for inspecting link metrics, tracking quota usage, and managing the lifecycle of shortened URLs.
Top Metrics Overview
At the top of your dashboard, four primary summary cards display real-time usage statistics:
+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+
| Links Used | Total Clicks | Active Links | Expired Links |
| 37 / 100 | 2,841 | 31 | 6 |
| Resets in 14 days | All-time traffic | Currently routed | Available to renew |
+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+---------------------+
- Links Used: Shows how many links you have created against your 100 links/month quota, along with the days remaining until your monthly quota resets.
- Total Clicks: Cumulative redirect events across all your owned links.
- Active Links: Links currently receiving traffic and returning HTTP 302 redirects.
- Expired Links: Links that have passed their expiration date and are returning HTTP 410 Gone.
Link Management Table
Below the metrics, the interactive links table provides comprehensive control over your catalog:
