Smart Link PHP: screen traffic before the destination opens.

Smart Link PHP is used when the first checkpoint is your routing or tracking domain. KillBot evaluates the click before sending allowed visitors to the destination or sending risky traffic to a safe redirect.

When to use it

Best for.

Screen paid or organic campaign clicks before the final landing page opens.

Keep Smart Link protection on the routing layer instead of the real page.

Pre-landing routing

Flow

How Smart Link PHP works.

Step 1

Campaign click reaches Smart Link

The click lands on the routing or tracking domain first.

Step 2

Smart Link PHP sends request context to KillBot

KillBot receives the route and click context before the destination opens.

Step 3

KillBot evaluates network, ASN, category, country/referrer, and route rules

Link-layer screening combines infrastructure and policy checks.

Step 4

Allowed traffic goes to the destination

Clean visitors continue to the campaign destination.

Step 5

Risky traffic is redirected, blocked, or rate-limited based on policy

Traffic Log records the outcome so the route can be tuned later.
