Branded Splash Pages for Every Redirect
Every redirect shows your logo, brand colors, and a loading indicator before reaching the destination. Reinforce trust at the moment of handoff - especially on affiliate and outbound links.
Why splash pages matter
When a user clicks a short link, they're trusting that the destination is safe and relevant. A generic redirect - a blank white screen that instantly jumps to an unknown URL - creates a moment of uncertainty. That uncertainty costs clicks, especially on affiliate links where the destination domain may be unfamiliar.
Branded splash pages solve this by inserting a brief, branded interstitial between the click and the redirect. The visitor sees your logo, your colors, and a loading indicator. They know exactly who is sending them and why. This is particularly valuable for:
- Affiliate marketers sending traffic to Amazon, ShareASale, or other networks
- Government agencies directing citizens to external resources
- Enterprise teams sharing links in email campaigns where trust is paramount
- SaaS companies running partner or referral programs
The splash page is fully customizable - upload your logo, set your brand colors, and configure the loading experience. You can also override branding on individual links for campaign-specific messaging.

What does a branded splash page look like?
Before each redirect fires, visitors see a branded splash page showing your logo, brand colors, and a short loading indicator for 1 to 3 seconds. The page displays your brand identity prominently, reinforcing trust especially on affiliate or outbound links where the destination URL may be unfamiliar to the reader. You can customize the logo, background color, text message, and loading animation from your dashboard. The splash page also supports retargeting pixels from Meta, Google, TikTok, and LinkedIn, meaning every click on your short link adds the visitor to your retargeting audiences on those platforms. Branded splash pages are included on all plans, including the free tier, and are a unique Keynou Drive feature that no major competitor currently offers.
Can I customize the splash page per link?
Yes. You can set a global branding configuration for your domain that applies to all short links by default, and also override branding on individual links. This is useful for campaigns, partner links, or co-branded content that need different logos or colors. For example, a marketing agency could set default branding for go.client1.com but create a special co-branded splash page for a partnership campaign with a different logo and background color. Per-link overrides include logo, background color, text message, and loading animation. The retargeting pixel configuration can also be set per link, allowing you to fire different pixels for different campaigns. All customization is done through the dashboard with no coding required.
Do splash pages slow down the redirect?
The splash page displays briefly (typically 1 to 3 seconds) but the redirect is initiated immediately in the background. The total experience adds minimal latency while significantly improving brand recall and trust. The splash page loads from a CDN (content delivery network) so it renders instantly regardless of the visitor's geographic location. The 1 to 3 second display time is configurable - you can reduce it to as little as 1 second for performance-sensitive campaigns or extend it to 3 seconds for maximum brand exposure. During the splash page display, the destination URL is pre-resolved and ready, so the actual redirect is instantaneous once the timer expires. This approach balances brand visibility with user experience.
Are splash pages mobile-friendly?
Yes. Branded splash pages are fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices. They load quickly on cellular connections and display correctly on all screen sizes, from small phones to large tablets. The splash page layout automatically adjusts the logo size, text, and loading indicator to fit the viewport. Mobile performance is critical because a significant percentage of short link clicks come from mobile devices, particularly from social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter. The splash page is served from a CDN edge node closest to the visitor, ensuring sub-second load times even on 3G connections. No additional configuration is needed - mobile responsiveness is built in by default for every splash page.
