If I pasted a scrt.link to a friend over WhatsApp or Messenger, and the little link preview pops up, does that trigger a visit count, resulting in the message already being destroyed before the friend gets to click on it?

Good question! Bot traffic from common apps/services is beeing blocked. But let me know if you run into a problem. C.

  On a related note, I see that getting the secret is a GET request. However, since that request also deletes the secret I think it would be best if it was a POST request. This would probably also automatically fix any issue of a link preview triggering the secret deletion because I think they are designed to not execute POST requests generally speaking (but I could be wrong here).

    Very good point! Thank you. I'll look into this.

      Issue is resolved. Using DELETE request now, which feels a bit more accurate. Blocking crawlers is no longer needed, which also benefits page speed! Thanks again for the input. C.
