How do I check an old Glitch project link after hosting closed?
Treat an old Glitch project link as a historical reference and verify its current destination through the creator’s established website or repository. Glitch ended project hosting and user profiles on July 8, 2025. A familiar app address or copied design does not establish who controls the current destination.
What the shutdown notices establish
Glitch’s May 2025 announcement set the hosting shutdown date and described project-subdomain redirects arranged before the end of 2025. The July update confirmed the wind-down. Those notices do not establish that any particular destination is still controlled by the same person.
Keep the old URL and the current destination separately. Look for a migration announcement on a source you already used for the project, rather than treating the redirect itself as the announcement. The GitHub profile guide concerns a public maintainer reference; a similar handle alone cannot confirm a move.
If the moved app makes a new login, token or download request, compare that change with the established project source. Retain the actual changed request and both destinations when asking about a discrepancy. ProfileTrace cannot restore Glitch hosting or project code.
