1443140 Malformed Destination URL

The landing page URL you provided in your ad setup is incorrectly formatted. It may be missing the protocol (http/https), contain illegal characters, have extra spaces, or use a URL shortener that Meta doesn't allow.

What causes this error?

The landing page URL you provided in your ad setup is incorrectly formatted. It may be missing the protocol (http/https), contain illegal characters, have extra spaces, or use a URL shortener that Meta doesn’t allow.

How to fix it

1. Add the protocol: Ensure your URL starts with https:// (preferred) or http://.
2. Remove special characters: Strip any invisible whitespace, line breaks, or Unicode characters from the URL string.
3. Avoid URL shorteners: Meta blocks or penalizes many URL shorteners (like bit.ly in some contexts). Use your full, direct domain URL.
4. Test the URL: Paste it directly into a browser to confirm it loads correctly before submitting.
