How Can I Hide The Download URL?

[websurfer]

Hello Everyone!

I have a question for you guys… 

I am planning to hire someone to build me 

a 3 page, HTML, mobile-responsive website,

hosted on a VPS.

The site will consist of a “Squeeze Page with an email Opt-in Form,” 

a “Thank You Page” …and a “Download Page.” (People that Opt-In 

will be sent an email with a link to the download page where they 

will be able to download a PDF. (my lead magnet.)

My question is, How Can I Hide The Download URL? 

(to prevent people from finding it easily.)

Thank you in advance!

Hmm .... there are a few ways. The easiest is to have a long URL. Another more secure solution is to use php to stream the pdf via file object functions built into php. But that I think would be overkill. Just have a long url and change it every so often.

So the url could be:

yoursites.com/squeezer/product/random/thepdf.pdf
