Procedure
A regular link wrapped by us, depending of they have click tracking only (http://ct.sendgrid.net/ls.....) or click tracking and link branding (https://yourdomain.com/ls.....), will include an specific tag right after the domain is mentioned which is /ls, as in the above example. This tag specifies that the link is long signed, so it is a regular link.
A link that has been shortened by our link shortening feature will include a different tag which will be:
/ss, which stands for short signed.
A sample link with regular size will then have the /ls tag like in this example:

Whereas this is an example of a shortened link (which is also shorter than previous link) includes the /ss tag right after the domain name:
