What people say about the redirect layer
Reviews of the RedirHub redirect service these codes point through, quoted from Trustpilot.
The UI is really easy to figure out, and it's very reliable. I especially like the easy URL shortener, far better than many of the alternatives. The redirects include SSL. Really generous free plan.

Frequently asked questions
Only if the printed code encodes an active redirect URL. If it does, the destination behind that redirect can be updated at any time. A code that encodes a final web address directly cannot be repointed — the address is part of the pattern.
Scan it and look at the address bar as the page opens. If you briefly see a short redirect domain before landing on the final page, it is redirect-backed. If it goes straight to the destination, the destination is baked in.
No. The pattern encodes the redirect URL, and that URL never changes. Only the rule behind it does.
Yes. RedirHub supports branded redirect URLs on connected domains, so scans travel through a domain you own. Custom domains are included on every plan — two on Free, more on paid plans — with HTTPS issued automatically.
It is a normal HTTP redirect, resolved before the destination page starts loading. In practice people see the destination, not the hop.
Yes. Redirect analytics are included on every RedirHub plan, including Free. Each scan is recorded with volume over time, location, device, and referrer, and the data is available in the dashboard or through the API.
RedirHub is built to manage redirect records at scale, with bulk import and export and a REST API available on every plan. How many you can manage depends on your plan and setup.
Redirects resolve while the account and connected domain are active. This is worth planning for with any redirect-backed print run, whichever provider you use.
