Replace Linktree With a Page on Your Own Domain

By Keyona Meeks, Founder, ReRev Labs · Oct 31, 2026 · 7 min read

The short answer: Linktree's help page says "Linktree doesn't support custom domains." Every page lives at linktr.ee/yourusername. If you want the address to be your own, build a plain links page on a domain you already own, such as yourdomain.com/links, and point your social bios at it. It is one short page: a name, a sentence, and a list of buttons. You can add it to your existing website or host a single file. Expect to lose Linktree's built-in stats unless you add your own tracking.

By the end of this post, you'll be able to:

• Explain what you give up by staying on a Linktree address.
• Decide what belongs on a links page and what does not.
• Build the page from a starter file or by asking an AI site builder.
• Tag your links so you can see which one brings visitors.

You paid for Linktree, or you use the free plan, to put one link in your bio. It works. The catch is the address. People see linktr.ee in front of your name, and any trust or traffic that builds up, builds up on Linktree's domain and not yours. This post shows the replacement. It is one of five tools we rebuild for free on your own accounts. See how to replace paid software subscriptions for the others.

Does Linktree let you use your own domain?

Not according to its own help page. I fetched Linktree's article about custom domains on October 30, 2026, through a tool that returns excerpts. It says "Linktree doesn't support custom domains." It also says "Every Linktree uses its own linktr.ee/yourusername URL," and "We also don't provide developer tools for setting up domain forwarding." Source: Linktree's help page on custom domains.

What Linktree offers instead is a Redirect. The page says it "sends everyone who opens your Linktree directly to a link you choose" and that "Redirect is available on Starter, Pro and Premium plans." That sends people away from the page. It does not put your domain on it. I do not quote plan prices. Check Linktree's own pricing page.

Why does the address matter?

Two reasons, and one of them is a claim I cannot prove.

The first is plain. A link that reads yourdomain.com/links tells people it belongs to you. It is also one less thing to explain on a printed card.

The second comes from an agency, ProfileTree, which sells these alternatives. It says "Traffic routed through Linktree builds authority on Linktree's domain rather than your own." It cites no sources for its search claims, and I have no data on how much this affects any one site. Treat it as a reason to test, not a fact. Source: ProfileTree's article on Linktree and SEO, checked October 30, 2026, read as an excerpt.

What belongs on a links page?

Less than you think. People arrive from a bio on a phone, with one goal.

• Your name, and one sentence on what you do.
• Three to six buttons. Put the one you most want clicked first.
• The same text on each button that you would say out loud: "Book a call," "Read the guide," "Join the list."
• A way to email you.

Leave off anything nobody has clicked in a month. If you cannot name what you want a visitor to do, fix that before you build the page.

How do you build the page?

You have two plain routes. Pick one.

Do you already have a website?

Then add a page. If your site came from Lovable, ask the builder in the chat. Here is a prompt you can adapt:

Add a new page at /links. Mobile first, one centered column.
At the top: my name and one sentence: [your sentence].
Below that, 5 large full-width buttons that open in the same tab:
1. [Button text] -> [address]
2. [Button text] -> [address]
3. [Button text] -> [address]
4. [Button text] -> [address]
5. [Button text] -> [address]
Use the same fonts and colors as the rest of the site.
Do not change any other page.

Then open the page on your phone and check each button. Do not trust the summary the builder gives you. If the site is not yet on your own domain, read how to deploy a Lovable website to your own domain first, and the DNS crash course if the records are new to you.

One thing to check after you publish: Lovable sites are single-page apps, so an inner address can show a 404 when someone opens it fresh from a bio link. Open yourdomain.com/links in a new tab, not by clicking from the home page. If it fails, your host needs a rewrite rule.

Do you have only a domain, or a basic web host?

Then use one file. Save this as index.html, put it in a folder named links on your host so it loads at yourdomain.com/links/, and change the words and addresses:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <title>Your Name: Links</title>
  <meta name="description" content="Where to find Your Name online.">
  <style>
    body { font-family: system-ui, sans-serif; margin: 0; padding: 32px 16px; background: #fafafa; color: #1a1a1a; }
    main { max-width: 420px; margin: 0 auto; text-align: center; }
    h1 { font-size: 1.5rem; margin: 0 0 8px; }
    p { margin: 0 0 24px; line-height: 1.5; }
    a.button { display: block; margin: 0 0 12px; padding: 14px 16px; border-radius: 8px;
      background: #1a1a1a; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: 600; }
    a.button:hover, a.button:focus { background: #444; }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <main>
    <h1>Your Name</h1>
    <p>One sentence about what you do.</p>
    <a class="button" href="https://yourdomain.com/book?utm_source=links&utm_medium=bio&utm_campaign=book">Book a call</a>
    <a class="button" href="https://yourdomain.com/blog?utm_source=links&utm_medium=bio&utm_campaign=blog">Read the blog</a>
    <a class="button" href="mailto:you@yourdomain.com">Email me</a>
  </main>
</body>
</html>

I checked that this file parses as valid HTML structure with a script. I did not test it on a live host, and how a host serves a folder's index.html differs between hosts. Check your host's help page.

How do you know which button gets clicked?

Linktree shows you click counts. Your own page does not, until you add a way. The simplest is the tags in the starter file: utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign added to the end of each address. If the destination is a page you control and you already run an analytics tool there, those tags show up in your reports as the source of the visit. This counts visits on the destination, not clicks on the button, and it only works for pages that have analytics installed. A link to a third-party site gives you nothing.

I did not test any analytics product for this post. If you use one, check its help page for how it reads these tags.

What about the link in your bio?

Change it last, after you have tested the page on your phone. Put the new address in each profile. Keep the old Linktree page up for a week or two, and add a line at the top of it pointing to the new address. Then close it once you stop seeing visits.

Two notes:

• Some platforms shorten or label bio links in their own way. I did not check each platform's rules.
• If you print the address on anything, use the plain address. Do not print a tagged one.

Where does an LLM fit in this?

Not much. A links page is a few buttons, and a plain page does the same thing every time. An AI site builder can write the page, and that saves time. A person should open it on a phone, tap every button, and read every word. My stance: AI writes the code, plain automation runs it, and an LLM shows up only where the input is messy and a person checks the result.

Where this has limits

• I did not run this on a live site. The prompt and the starter file are mine. The Linktree facts come from its help page as an excerpt.
• You lose what Linktree gives you. That includes its editor, its stats and any features I did not look at. I only checked the custom domain page.
• The search claim is unproven. It comes from an agency that sells alternatives and gives no sources.
• A single-page site may need a host rule so the address opens when someone lands on it directly.
• Docs change. Everything here is as of October 30, 2026.
• No ReRev prices and no promises about traffic.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my own domain with Linktree?

Linktree's help page says it does not support custom domains. It offers a Redirect on some plans, which sends visitors to a link you choose.

What is the simplest Linktree alternative on my own domain?

A single page at yourdomain.com/links with your name, one sentence and a few buttons.

Do I need a developer?

No, if you can paste a prompt into an AI site builder or edit one file. Test the page on your phone.

Will I lose my click counts?

Yes, unless you add tracking. Tagged links show up in an analytics tool on the destination page, if you run one there.

Is a links page good for search?

I do not know. One agency says it helps because traffic builds on your domain. It gives no sources, so test it on your own site.

Should I delete my Linktree?

Not at once. Leave it up for a short time with a note pointing to the new address, then close it.
